Luvvie Ajayi Biography
Luvvie Ajayi Jones is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, speaker and entrepreneur who thrives at the intersection of culture, business and leadership.
Her critically acclaimed books "Professional Troublemaker: The Fear-Fighter Manual" (2021), "Rising Troublemaker: A Fear-Fighter Manual for Teens" (2022) and "I’m Judging You: The Do-Better Manual" (2016) were instant bestsellers and established her as a literary force with a powerful pen. Her first children’s book, "Little Troublemaker Makes a Mess" released on May 2, 2023, and debuted at #5 on the New York Times bestsellers list.
Her renowned TED talk “Get Comfortable with Being Uncomfortable” has over 9 million views, has been transcribed into 23 languages, and has placed her in the Top 1% of TED Talks of all time. Ajayi has taken the stage at some of the world’s most innovative and disruptive brands, such as Google, Facebook, Microsoft, Twitter, Spotify, Nike, Bank of America, Salesforce, Deloitte, and Clif Bar. She’s been a featured speaker at noted conferences such as: Cannes Lions, SXSW, Leadercast, 3% Conference, and MAKERS Conference.
A noted writer, she has contributed to several anthologies and has written for the New York Times, ELLE and Essence. In addition, her work has been featured in outlets such as NPR, Forbes, Inc, Fortune, Fast Company, The Chicago Tribune and more. An 19-year blogging veteran, Ajayi writes on AwesomelyLuvvie.com, covering all things culture with a critical yet humorous lens. Ajayi is also the host of a podcast of the same name as her book, Professional Troublemaker, where you can listen to her have candid conversations with changemakers who have taken action, caused good trouble and led courageous lives driven by conviction, humor and honesty.
As a veteran marketer and digital strategist, Ajayi is adept at creating campaigns that make impact and rise above the noise. Most recently, Ajayi created Black Business Luvv (#BlackBizLuvv) to fund and amplify Black businesses, which are often under-appreciated, under-mentored and underfunded. #BlackBizLuvv was a month-long campaign highlighting 31 companies, across multiple product categories. In just 31 days, the #BlackBizLuvv campaign infused $500,000 into small, Black-owned businesses.
In 2020, Ajayi was co-creator of #SharetheMicNow, a campaign that magnified the voices of brilliant Black women through the telling of their stories from the Instagram accounts of prominent white women. The campaign got over 20 billion impressions worldwide, and its impact earned it an honorable mention by Fast Company for “World Changing Ideas.” It also won the Content Marketing Institute’s 2020 B2C Marketer of the Year award. The campaign’s reach has spanned the globe and industries, having been replicated through #SharetheMicUK, #SharetheMicNowHome, and #SharetheMedicalMic, to name a few.

"...It's an effective exercise that can impact people, from ALL walks, in multiple ways- from spiritual, to personal, to career... Thank you, Luvvie. I am immensely grateful for it."
Alternative Content, AMC - Dec 07 2017 -
“Luvvie, I was inspired by the ability to really identify what "privilege" means...Moreover, I was moved by your ability to transform the room to a true safe space to then sit in all our "stuff" and remove all the layers of protection to be vulnerable... I didn't feel alone...It was honest and pure and so right on time!"
OWN - Dec 07 2017 -
“Luvvie, it was transformative on a number of levels! How often do we have the opportunity to pause and conduct some real, honest self-reflection? To speak our truth out loud?...I walked away from your session a lot more enlightened and courageous about the next phase of my personal and professional life given the truths that were preventing me making life choices that would be of benefit to me and my family. I thank you for a wonderful session."
Ceiling Breakers - Dec 07 2017 -
“Although I work in the space of personal growth and development and I regularly have time for introspection and reflection I found this exercise extremely valuable...It gave me (1) a real solid template for putting things in perspective and really honing in from a different angle how my story contributed to my life and (2) it made me a little emotional...This simple and short exercise is so rich... I say priceless."
Coach, Author TV Lifestyle Expert - Dec 07 2017 -
“It was both a painful and redemptive experience...No matter our individual circumstances that threatened to hold us back, we pushed through. We are triumphant too...We were able to still accomplish our dreams...I am glad that I participated in that session because today I am stronger for it. Thank you.”
