What People Are Saying
What People Are Saying
“Working with L'Oreal is a goldmine of talent, creativity and execution at the highest level. We tapped her to write a powerful Research Report on the impact of Loneliness on Women's careers and a Tool Kit for both corporate leadership and individual employees to help them find the Togetherness they need to succeed. She synthesized the data, found the story through line, interviewed experts, and created a final product that has been highlighted by Fortune, Fast Company, Wall Street Journal and more. Our wok together has been able to have a long tail as well--L'Oreal has hosted panels and strategized with us about how we capitalize on the early success so we turn the moment into momentum! I am looking forward to working with her again and again.”
~ Ann Shoket, CEO of The Li.st
“L'Oreal is one of the most talented communicators I’ve had the chance to work with. Whether it's through her writing projects, speaking engagements, or facilitating, L'Oreal always brings a unique blend of creativity, clarity, and thoughtfulness to everything she does. I know that if L'Oreal is involved, I'm in good hands and that the final project, product, or outcome will be effective and engaging.
What really sets L'Oreal apart, though, is how accessible and personable she is. She has this amazing ability to connect with people. Her warmth and authenticity shine through, making her content and presentations feel relatable and impactful. I can’t say enough good things about L'Oreal. She’s a true professional who combines top-notch skills with a personal touch, and she would be an asset to any team or project..”
~ Liz Jansen, Executive Director of Women Unite!
“I had the pleasure of working with L’Oreal Thompson Payton on a project focused on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), where she attended a Lumina Foundation convening and served as a ghostwriter and strategist. L’Oreal's ability to craft compelling narratives that resonate with diverse audiences is truly exceptional.
Her writing is not only clear and engaging but also deeply empathetic, capturing the essence of the subjects she covers. She delivered high-quality work on time and was proactive in pitching the articles to relevant journalism outlets, demonstrating her professionalism and dedication.
L’Oreal's extensive experience as a journalist and author, including her work featured in outlets like Fortune and her book "Stop Waiting for Perfect," adds depth to her storytelling. Her commitment to highlighting important issues, especially those affecting Black communities, makes her an invaluable collaborator. I highly recommend L’Oreal for any writing or communications projects. Her talent, reliability, and passion for storytelling make her a true standout professional.”
~ Jasmine Haywood, Strategy Director for Credentials of Value for Lumina Foundation
“L'Oreal is a compelling writer who amplified my organization's impact in our annual report that resonated powerfully with our stakeholders. Her ability to craft authentic narratives that capture the heart of our work is exactly what mission-driven organizations need to stand out to funders and supporters. I cannot recommend L'Oreal enough for any organization seeking a writer who understands the importance of great storytelling in conveying impact to others.”
~ Camesha L. Jones - Brandon, Executive Director of Sista Afya Community Care NFP
“Working with L’Oreal was an incredible gift during my book proposal process. She brought so much thoughtfulness, clarity, and care to the work, helping me deepen the chapters, think more expansively about the narrative, and identify the voices and interviews that could make the project even stronger. She also helped me navigate an important creative question: how to preserve my voice in a very different kind of book. Having previously written a memoir, I was stepping into a form of narrative nonfiction that would include other people’s stories and perspectives, and L’Oreal helped me hold onto what felt most true and distinctive about my own voice within that broader structure. She has a rare ability to listen deeply, ask the right questions, and elevate both the work and the writer. I’m so grateful for her partnership and would love to work with her again.”
~ Uché Blackstock, MD, Physician and New York Times bestselling author of LEGACY
