(IN THIRD PERSON BECAUSE… BIOS WILL ALWAYS MATTER, AMIRITE?!)

Ty Alexander is a bestselling author, speaker, podcaster, wellness blogger and DJ who teaches women how to choose gratitude over grief. In her writings and teachings, she blends radically honest stories with actionable “aha” lessons. In 2010, she created the wildly popular blog Gorgeous In Grey. Since then she has become a leading authority in lifestyle, beauty, and wellness-related content. She has been featured in notable media outlets such as Well + Good, Redbook, RealSimple, CNN, O Magazine, ESSENCE; and was a 2016 BlogHer Voices of the Year nominee. Ty has also been a digital content partner to major brands such as Dove, Anthropologie, Cadillac, Estee Lauder, State Farm, Amtrak, and ULTA Beauty.

In 2016, Ty fulfilled a lifelong dream of becoming a published author. Hailed as a must-read for women in search of guidance on how to make sense of their own grieving process, her debut book, “Things I Wish I Knew Before My Mom Died“, is available in bookstores everywhere.

Her first book drives home a resounding message. Women of color need a brave space to discuss their mental wellness without judgment or shame. Ty’s latest project, Self Care IRL, is a love letter to those women. This social wellness community was designed to help women cultivate life-shifting healing experiences.

“Self Care IRL: Podcast” explores strategies and ideas for becoming your best self through active healing. As the host of the podcast, Ty takes listeners on a new journey to love shamelessly beyond the guilt, the baggage, and the insecurities that life plagues us with.

While the accolades are plenty at this stage in her career, Ty continually strives for greatness in all she does. From her roles as author, influencer, to strategist, she is driven by her desire to be the very best version of herself and hopes to inspire women all over the world to do the same.
