From Jet Magazine Editor to Director of Communications at OneGoal Going Behind The Hustle With Career Journalist L'Oreal Payton
Today on the podcast I am chatting with L’Oreal Thompson Payton. L’Oreal is a freelance writer, motivational speaker and the forthcoming author of Trust Your Dopeness: How to Stop Doubting Yourself & Start Marking Sh*t Happen. Her work has appeared in outlets such as ZORA, SELF, Bustle, HelloGiggles, and Shine, where she focuses on the intersection of women of color, work and wellness.
Listen in as we discuss how she trusted her dopeness and negotiated a $30,000 pay increase, the role mentors and coaches have played in her success, including her amazing mentor, Kyra Kyles and how it really does go down in the DMs.
