About Me

-

Hey there! Thanks for stopping by! I'm Dr. Calynn M. Lawrence, 20x Award Winning businesswoman, media personality, humanitarian and former pageant queen (Miss United States Universe Tourism 2021, Miss World America Nation 2020).

I started this blog when I was barely 15 years old in January 2011 as a supplement to my application to the retail business internship at the downtown Chicago Nordstrom mall! I stayed there for 3 years learning the fundamentals of everything fashion business from sales and marketing to media and modeling. This was a phenomenal foundation to my career as it gave me the rudimentary knowledge and competitive edge that I needed to be successful! 



From there, I went on to college and obtained my first degree in Business and Humanities (the arts and social sciences). I wrote as a freelance journalist and editor for several large publications and hosted live cable television for two years. I walked countless red carpets being a VIP media guest at major industry events all over the country and internationally such as but not only New York Fashion Week, LA Fashion Week, Paris Fashion Week, Chicago Fashion Week, Latino Fashion Week and Black Fashion Week! I did this while maintaining various office jobs in Marketing and Sales Management.


For my entrepreneurial endeavors, I own a media/marketing conglomerate, the Calynn Communications & Creative corporation! This is the parent company to my nonprofit initiative, The Fresh Faces Project, which has benefited nearly 900 brands, my 5-star rated web series "Chicago Talent TV" and several major online publications, including The World Times, What's Good Weekly, Millionaires In The Making and Icons In The Now! 

I've been blessed to win 20 awards for my work including 2 Person of the Year Awards, 4 RCCI Academy Awards, Global IMA Social Impact Champion 2023, 4 Virtual Visionary Awards and Woman of the Year. I've also completed a Doctorate in Pastoral Counseling and a Master of Science in Management and Leadership and am a multi board certified trauma specialist. I will continue in my stride towards helping marginalized society gain access to the resources and support they deserve! 

Thank you for joining me for the ride <3

Let's get into it!  8 Day Caribbean Adventure on Celebrity Cruises View this post on Instagram A post shared by Calynn M. Lawrence, MSML (@calynnmlawrence) My mom, baby sister and I were blessed to go on a super fun, 8-day Caribbean cruise that was action packed with tons of fun excursions, great drinks, live entertainment and beautiful beaches. This was all of our first cruise and it was a phenomenal experience aside from being absolutely WIPED by the end of it. We got to visit Puerto Rico, the US virgin Islands, St. Kitts and Neives, St .Lucia, St. Johns, Barbados, St. Thomas and more! Below is my favorite photo from the vac...

38 Underrepresented World Wide Talents That You Need to Know!

In a world where so many great entrepreneurs and artists can become famous at the act of one viral video online, it's easy to get lost in the misconception that with social media's "power," anybody who is talented is already known. After all, it isn't as difficult to gain exposure and "get big" as it was 20 years ago before the Internet's Massive Media takeover, right? Partially yes, however, social media also makes the market 10x as saturated as it was 20 years ago. Thus, are you really that much further ahead if all of your competition has the means to one-up you, free of cost and inconvenience, just by posting to their online accounts? It's a lot to think about. That is why we here at The Fresh Faces Project work hard to make sure that the artists and entrepreneurs and do-gooders who are underrepresented and don't get the fame and acknowledgment that their talents merit are given a platform. That platform is us. When creating thi...
