ABOUT ME Hi, I'm Shammara Lawrence! I'm a New York-based media enthusiast, multimedia journalist, and copywriter
who thrives off crafting unique and engaging content for the masses. I have a range of experience writing for aselection of incredible global publications and brands across a wide range of subjects, primarily in fashion,
beauty, and lifestyle. I'm also well-versed in conducting interviews, having interviewed people from all walks oflife from celebrities (Cyndi Lauper, Lizzo, Serena Williams, SZA) and influencers (Jackie Aina, Justine Skye) to
all sorts of culturally-influential icons (Diane von Furstenberg, Betsey Johnson).
Alongside my editorial work for outlets like Teen Vogue, Allure, NBC Better, Glamour, Refinery29, Marie Claire,and Essence, I've had the pleasure to help brands like Swarovski, Toni&Guy, and Ulta Beauty elevate theiroverall image and engage their audience in new and interesting ways in the digital age. My copywriting
specialities include product descriptions, blog writing, and social media.
If you're looking for someone who is on the pulse of the cultural zeitgeist and has a strong creative eye andpoint of view about beauty and fashion — I'm your girl!

ULTA BEAUTY X ALLURE SEE YOURSELF, SEE EACH OTHER
See Yourself, See Each Other, is a video and portrait series sponsored by Ulta Beauty for Allure that aims to break downlongstanding beauty standards by highlighting the beauty in
all of our uniqueness. The series covered five differentsubjects: representation, body positivity, skin acceptance,
hair, and gender identity. For the project, I crafted thecampaign's mission statement and wrote two of the essays on
representation and body positivity that accompanied thevideos on the same themes. I also wrote the video descriptions
and headlines that appeared on Allure.com, and I served astalent for the videos on body positivity and representation.
