About
SHERLYN ASSAM
As a writer and editor, I love telling stories. Here's some of mine.
​
My pronouns are she/her and my name is pronounced sher-leen. Aquarius-born and raised in Brampton, Ontario, I moved to Ottawa to study Journalism and Political Science, then followed up with a Master of Philanthropy and Nonprofit Leadership. Now I live in the United Kingdom, working as a writer and editor.
​
My journalism focuses on the philanthropic and charitable sector, social justice, faith and spirituality, entertainment and pop culture. My communications work in the philanthropic sector focuses on women and gender expansive folks, the Black community, the LGBT2S+ community, youth, and sex workers. My work and volunteer experience also includes community engagement, project coordination and mutual aid mobilization.
​
Currently, I work with people based in Canada, the US, and the UK, but I welcome clients around the world. Whether you need a story investigated or explained, an editorial eye, or a campaign amplified, I can make your visions come to life.
I write so you don't have to.
