Beauty-Tech Founder YANY Beauty | Mindfulness Coach for CEOs | Tedx Speaker | ForbesBLK Local Advisor ATL | Philanthropist

As the Founder & CEO of YANY Beauty, Contractr AI, and Lead Consultant at IntegralStart Consulting, I am committed to innovation that drives both business success and social impact. I’ve grown YANY Beauty from a personal passion into a global brand that offers sustainable, inclusive beauty products for all skin tones and types. Our luxurious, eco-friendly products are available in-store and online, and we partner with brands and organizations that share our values. You can support YANY Beauty by shopping our clean beauty products or partnering with us to expand your reach in the beauty and wellness industry.

My latest venture, Contractr AI, is a game-changing SaaS platform that simplifies legal and business processes for entrepreneurs and growing companies. We’re currently welcoming investors and early users to register and help shape the future of AI-driven business solutions.

At IntegralStart Consulting, I offer holistic business consulting services to help startups and established companies navigate today’s fast-paced environment. Whether you're looking to optimize your operations or build a sustainable strategy, I'm here to help you succeed.

I am also available for speaking engagements, sharing insights on entrepreneurship, tech innovation, the beauty industry, and wellness. My goal is to inspire and equip others to pursue growth in both their personal and professional lives.

With a JD, and certifications as a mediator, arbitrator, and Enrolled Agent, I offer expert guidance in legal and conflict resolution, providing ethical solutions to complex challenges.

Philanthropy is a core part of my mission. Through initiatives like the Dream Feeding Program and the YANY Foundation, I contribute to positive social change and advocate for racial equity and inclusion. 

Let’s connect to shop, partner, consult, invest, or collaborate—together, we can make a meaningful impact.

Y'all know how LinkedIn lets you put that little green “Open to Work” banner on your photo?

Well, I think we need a new one that says something like “Open for Business.” 😂
I've been thinking, a lot of us aren’t job hunting in a traditional sense but we are building, creating, consulting, selling, serving, doing all the things to keep these businesses growing.

I mean, I throw on the “Hiring” banner when I’m hiring, but where’s the one for “Looking for Clients”...

If they gave me the option, mine would probably say something like: #OpentoClients and it would have a pink trim, it would be a whole vibe!

But like no, for real I’m serious. I’m open for business and currently taking on new clients. 
 
If you’ve been contemplating about tightening up those old outdated contracts, wanting to bring on a business or legal consultant, need some mediation for that conflict, or making sure your business is AI-ready, let’s connect.

If you could choose, what would your banner say? Repost if you think this should be a thing. Template link in the comments to create your own like the one in my profile! 😁

Contractr AI is exploring an early raise! Friends... Family 👀 

Over the past year, I've been leading the build of Contractr AI into a platform that helps founders and small businesses manage contracts, compliance, HR, leadership, and growth strategy, all powered by an AI team.

Now, we’re preparing to open our first friends and family raise on Wefunder 🎉 where anyone can invest with as little as $100.

But, before we launch this early “feeler” round, I want your help to gauge interest before we go public. It’s a chance to get in early, support an ethical AI company built for founders by founders, and grow with us as we scale.

If you’ve followed our journey or believe in accessible, founder-friendly AI tools, we’d love to have you join us.

You can express your interest by clicking the link in the comments or DM me for the direct link. This is not a commitment at this time!

Let’s build the future of business, together.

Y'all the job market is f#@k'd right now!

As an entrepreneur I'm used to the ups and downs, but I can't imagine always being employed, get laid off, and then apply to 500 jobs before landing one. 
Each day I get on here I see brilliant people with the same story.

My heart hurts for so many people right now. 💔 We have to go beyond our own struggles and understand we live a parallel existence and hardship is not unique to just one person or demographic.

My family does not support my business.
There I said it! *exhales* 🫣 

That’s a hard sentence to write, but it’s the truth.

I’ve been a full-time entrepreneur for 15 years. My children’s livelihood depends on the success of what I build. I’ve created a beauty brand, built community, employed people, and served customers around the world.

And yet, not a single family member buys from my company as a regular part of their purchase habits.

They’ll brag about how much they spend on big-name brands they’ve never even tried, but not mine.

It’s disheartening, but I know I’m not alone.

So many entrepreneurs whisper about the same thing: how the people closest to them can be the slowest to believe in them. Family support shouldn’t be about understanding your business model, it’s about believing in you.

This week in The Tightrope series on my Substack, I’m unpacking what it means to build without the safety net of family support, and how to keep walking anyway. 

I’ll drop the link in the comments 👇🏾.

💬 Do your family and friends support your business, or stay on the sidelines?

My daughter has no idea I’m posting this but… 

Shania is a fashion designer who’s already created custom pieces for big-name celebrities, and now she’s working on her first couture holiday gown collection, a new ready-to-wear line, and accessory collection.

Her first accessory is the limited-edition Jelly Fish satin-silk scarf, inspired by the beauty of Portugal and her latest summer collection (see pics).

The scarves are artistically printed based on the hand design and painting of her custom boxes. She has just 100 scarves available and profits will help fund the materials needed to complete her upcoming collections.

If you love scarves (think hair, bags, belts), doing a little early holiday shopping, or simply want to support a young up-and-coming designer, grab one! 

(You know LinkedIn doesn’t like links in posts, so I’ll drop it in the comments.)

And if scarves aren’t your thing, a comment or reshare for reach helps (just saying)!
