About me
I've been working in marketing for 6+ years, job roles including; social media editor, social and content, content editor and brand manager. I have a particular love of the beauty industry where I often discuss the need for authentic diversity and inclusion. I regularly consult beauty brands that are looking to improve their diversity, inclusion and cultural awareness. I am a plus model and beauty content creator and can be found across socials as @afroglory_ (go have a stalk!) I also have a masters degree in design with a focus on social design. I think my skills from my education have been heavily transferable in all the creative endeavours I have pursued and continue to pursue. I love what I do and being a multifaceted creative person.
