Welcome to Hot Topics! Gabrielle Crichlow talks to guest Lauren Varlack about the boom of the EdTech industry as a result of the pandemic, the impact of the digital world on teachers and students, and the difference between remote learning and virtual school.

Who is Lauren Varlack?
She calls herself the Edupreneur’s Educator. This means she is an educator/teacher helping Black women edupreneurs to take the path to become the most bold, daring and impactful educators in their online brands. The journey started when she was feeling like she was hiding in the background, doing the bare minimum because she felt like she didn’t know enough or have enough to be bold and seen in life, career and business. She created a quiz called Brand Ya Flava that allowed her to dive deep into the strengths of her personality, passion for teaching and purpose and sharing it has catapulted her brand. Today, she helps Black women like her take the journey to disrupt the online education space by using their expertise to educate the masses for massive impact through their courses.
