Hi! I’m Tyra—
a journalist, content writer, editor, and educator known for my authentic voice and passion for storytelling. I hold a Master’s in Professional Writing and a Bachelor’s in English Education from Kennesaw State University. With almost a decade of experience in print and digital content creation and management, I developed my unique writing style and media correspondence skills across the entertainment, education, real estate, interior design, product marketing, and advertising industries.
Over the years, I’ve worn many hats in my writing career. I’ve been a high school English teacher, an associate writer for a publishing company, and a senior digital content manager for a creative advertising agency. Currently, I work as an independent journalist/content writer, an assistant poetry editor for an independent press, and I’m a published poet. Whether working with students, clients, or companies, I’m committed to perfecting my craft and helping others do the same.

For generations, beauty care for Black women has meant more than a 10-step nighttime routine and lemon water facials. It’s been a fight for safety and visibility. From the pioneering efforts of Annie Turnbo Malone and Madam C.J. Walker, who revolutionized the beauty industry in the early 20th century to the ‘Black is Beautiful’ movement of the 1960s and the Natural Hair Movement in the 2000s, the legacy runs deep.
