Meet the Founder, Malissa Lewis
After growing up in Guyana, Malissa moved to New Jersey with a Bachelor of Law Degree and a love of fashion. She earned a Master of Law and landed a successful career in public health. She infused her love of fashion in her professional work wear and continues to embrace her personal style while rubbing elbows with individuals who either wear only one color or put very little effort into their outward appearance.
In 2015, she launched a fashion blog, Outtheboxbym as a weekend hobby and shortly thereafter, began collaborating with fashion brands. During the pandemic, she began to reevaluate the purpose of a fashion-focused blog and made the decision to shift the focus of the blog to life and style. This gave birth to Malissa Lewis, Life and Style. I envision this lifestyle blog becoming a one-stop shop for resources for those who are looking for practical tips to balance self-satisfaction with self-development. Malissa lives with her husband in Maryland. Email her anytime at engagewithmali@gmail.com and find her on Instagram.
