- L’Oreal Thompson Payton is an award-winning journalist, powerhouse author, and fierce advocate for Black maternal mental health and wellness. Her debut book, Stop Waiting for Perfect: Step Out of Your Comfort Zone and Into Your Power (BenBella Books, August 2023), instantly became a number-one new release in Amazon’s self-help category. With nearly two decades of experience in writing and editing, she has built a career encouraging and uplifting women as they navigate their own paths to purpose and self-discovery. A former parenting columnist for Yahoo and a frequent contributor to parenting publications such as Romper, Expectful, and Bobbie’s blog Milk Drunk, L’Oreal writes with the warmth and honesty that have become her signature. Her personal journey through infertility—including multiple failed IVF cycles, perinatal depression, and postpartum anxiety—fuels her passion for advocating for Black women’s reproductive health and mental wellness. In addition to being the founder of Werking Moms Club, a podcast and vibrant community redefining motherhood for ambitious women, L’Oreal is launching the Evanston chapter of Chamber of Mothers, a national movement supporting moms through collective action. She is also a certified yoga and meditation teacher, offering resources to support women in prioritizing their mental well-being.
