Lynn Lawson - One Funky Mama
After graduating from Spelman College and 10 years of work in the corporate, educational, and freelance settings, Lynn began her entrepreneurial pursuit with the launch of a beauty and wellness company.
Her first foray into business was an incredible learning experience. She realized her love for speaking with women about goals, purpose, wellness, alternative health concepts, and living a spirit-driven life. After the close of her first business, she diligently began her search for another business in which she could reach out to women.
After much thought and study, Lynn decided to create a multi-media and events company that had the potential to reach women (especially moms) globally. She launched One Funky Mama Omnimedia in April 2008. Over the next several years, Lynn plans to speak to thousands of women about finding purpose and tuning in to their spirit in order to live to their full potential.
Lynn has long called Atlanta, Georgia home. She is a married mom of three.
