Lori Baynham runs a lot — not only an advertising agency but marathons. While training for her first marathon in 2015 and running with a few friends, she stumbled upon what she now calls the yellow brick road to emotional sobriety. Now, Lori admits to being an admiration-seeking junkie, and has learned the recovery program could apply to her, and anyone interested in living a better life. Her mostly-true new book, Coffee’s Better When You Slurp It, chronicles her story and experiences to encourage others to find the path to harmonious emotional health.
An alum of Louisiana State University-Shreveport, Lori is an award-winning community leader, having led several causes and being awarded Volunteer of the Year for The Junior League of Shreveport after helping gang members integrate into society. Among her involvement highlights, she’s served as President of The Samaritan Counseling Center in Shreveport, President of Shreveport Juvenile Justice, President of Christus Health Systems Foundation Board, Project Research and Development Chair for Junior League of Shreveport, President of Delta Delta Delta Collegiate and Alumnae Chapters, Board Member for American Heart Association, served on multiple committees at First United Methodist Church in Shreveport since 1985, President of Caddo Middle Magnet and Byrd High School PTSA during the years her children attended, soccer coach for both of her boys when they were ages 6 through 8, President of the Sig-Ep Parents Club (her son’s fraternity) and as a Mentor for High Risk Kids through Volunteers of America.
When she’s not operating her advertising agency or serving the community, Lori loves to paint, read, cook and play with her grandchildren Lucy and Warren--and, of course, run. Just about every morning, she runs, having recently completed the London Marathon, the New York City Marathon twice, Louisiana Marathon twice, Marathon du Medoc’ in Burgundy, France, the Dublin, Ireland Marathon, Philadelphia Marathon, Jack and Jill Marathon in Washington, Twin Cities Marathon in Minnesota, and her favorite, Big Sur on Highway 1 in California.
Lori and her husband Bailey live in Shreveport, Louisiana. They have two awesome sons, Drew and Christian, two perfect grandchildren, Lucy and Warren, and one scruffy dog, Max.
