About

Portrait of Lauren Williams
By Alvin Armstrong
Brooklyn, NY, 2023

I am a journalist and audio producer.

At the moment, I’m a Visiting Scholar at the Arthur L. Carter Journalism Institute at New York University, where my reporting is being supported by the Matthew Power Literary Reporting Award.

I am working on a book about art in the American South. I am represented by Sam Stoloff and Alison Lewis at Frances Goldin Literary Agency.

I recently exhibited video and audio artwork at the Armory Center for the Arts in Los Angeles, California. You can learn more about that here.

In the past, I wrote and produced for KUOW and NPR’s noontime show, Soundside. I also produced an audio documentary about Black, avant-garde classical composers for Afropop Worldwide, a Peabody Award-winning radio show. I’ve written scripts, scored, and produced episodes for a wide range of radio programs, narrative shows, and audio documentaries.

I received a master’s degree from Columbia Journalism School. I graduated Magna Cum Laude and earned Departmental Honors from The American University of Paris.

I speak French and love literature, art, and visiting new places.
