Notes:
L’Oreal Thompson Payton is an award-winning journalist and the author of the forthcoming book,
Stop
Waiting
for
Perfect
:
Step
Out
of
Your
Comfort
Zone
and
Into
Your
Power
(BenBella Books, August 2023). She is also a health and wellness reporter at Fortune where she covers women and wellness in the workplace. Her professional writing is often inspired by her own personal experiences of trying to navigate the world as an ambitious Black millennial woman who was raised to believe that she could outwork all obstacles, but who has come to learn over time that success is not always guaranteed even if you follow all of the "rules." Her personal essays, feature stories and celebrity interviews have been published in esteemed media outlets such as Bustle, Essence, SELF, Shondaland, People, Publishers Weekly, and Well + Good. Her writing, speaking engagements, and wellness facilitation work pull from her personal struggles with issues such as self-doubt, imposter syndrome, infertility, and postpartum depression to encourage and inspire other Black women to see, trust, and believe in the beauty of who they are as enough even as they strive to become more than that. When she’s not busy writing–which, to be fair, isn’t often–she can usually be found reading, on her yoga mat or riding her Peloton.

Summary:
"Award-winning journalist, motivational speaker, and blogger L'Oreal Thompson Payton is a self-professed success junkie and poster girl for 'overly' ambitious high achievers everywhere. She also knows firsthand how imposter syndrome and self-doubt can derail
your
dreams. She's experienced the growing pains that come with big career and life changes. But she's also come
out
the other side ready to kick ass, take names, and bring everyone she possibly can along with her. In '
Stop
Waiting
for
Perfect
,' she's doing just that: using that hard-won insight to be
your
guide,
your
big sister,
your
best friend, and personal cheerleader to help you through
your
own journey. She's penned the pocket-sized pep talk to walk with you through any obstacle in
your
career or personal life. This book will force you to
stop
playing small and encourage you to fully
step
into
your
power
and walk in
your
purpose. It will awaken the dreams you buried deep within
your
soul long ago because you thought they were impossible, unattainable--available to other people, but not you. Until now. Learning to trust
your
dopeness isn't a one-time achievement to unlock; it's a lifelong journey. No matter where you are in
your
life, it’s time to
stop
doubting and start living
your
best life."--From publisher.
