About
I am a PR professional who relocated to my hometown of Los Angeles, CA after spending about 8 years in Washington, DC. I work for a small woman-owned communications firm. I’ve worked in PR for a few different clients, many of whom you can check out on my Hire Me page. I blog about womanism, Black society, politics, and social media. Music is very important to me, so from time to time, I talk about that here too.
Mad Men is my favorite TV show. I just started a weekly feature called Mad Men Mondays, so if you’re Mad Men fan feel free to leave a comment! I also like cooking, sushi, shoes, gin martinis, yoga, and basketball (college and NBA).
My favorite topic to talk about is Black women in the media. I want to be a part of the generation that will forever change the way Black women are portrayed and perceived in our society.
You can email me at blackgirlblogging@gmail.com. Please note: I do except pitches at this email address. If you’re a blogger, drop your link in the comments so I can add you to my blogroll!
I think this would be a good time to tell you that I’m also on Twitter @loryn24.
Peace,
