Lauren Miller, a graduate of Howard University, is an Entrepreneur and Business Owner. She currently serves as the Director of Business Development at Miller³ consulting, a second-generation management consulting firm founded by her father in 1986. Her firm specializes in working with public and private sector clients on opportunity creation and inclusive policy initiatives within procurement, agriculture, healthcare and entertainment.

Before inheriting and taking on a role in the family business, Lauren previously built and successfully executed a niche lifestyle and travel brand and platform–CANT STAY PUT. A pioneer in the rise of the Black Millennial travel movement, Miller channeled her unique experience of frequently flying by herself since 5 years old to become a powerful voice within the travel industry that would influence thousands across the globe through storytelling, public speaking, and consulting with companies and brands to develop and execute international offerings. Her path helped to forge a new career path for Black millennials interested in the travel industry. 

A daughter and granddaughter of entrepreneurs and farmers, family business and the business of family is woven into the fabric of Lauren’s DNA. But not until Lauren’s father became terminally ill and she began the succession planning process did this reveal itself in a way that ultimately changed her forever. Taking on the role as her father’s caregiver came with the task of securing his legacy and preparing her and her siblings for his departure. She became a student of her father, learning his business, his life, but most importantly understanding her lineage—a 150-year legacy of entrepreneurship rooted in agriculture. Through her and her fathers succession planning process, Lauren gained a true understanding of legacy, how to build it, secure it and how each generation has a responsibility to foster opportunity and freedom for the next. She is now on a mission to help the Black millennials and Black families understand how to build, secure, and pass on their legacy and the mindset required to do it.
