L'Oreal Thompson Payton
L’Oreal Thompson Payton is a health and wellness journalist and the author of Stop Waiting for Perfect: Step Out of Your Comfort Zone and Into Your Power. Her work has appeared in outlets such as Bustle, Essence, SELF, and Well + Good among others. When she’s not busy writing–which, to be fair, isn’t often–she can usually be found reading or riding her Peloton (her Leaderboard name is LTintheCity). A certified 300-hour yoga instructor, L’Oreal lives just outside of Chicago with her husband, daughter, and ever-growing book collection.
