Business Development

"I feel that there is a way to bridge the gap between women of color and global decision making  and that begins with resources, social enterprise, and opportunities, which is ultimately what we try to provide through the business development entity of Y.A.B."
~ Y.A.B. Co-Founder, Lauren Bealore 

Community Engagement

"My experiences as one of the few young black women in higher education serves as my motivation to encourage young girls to work toward their goals regardless of the women around."
~Y.A.B. Co-Founder, Courtney Griffin 

Personal Development

"Over the years I’ve learned that in order to thrive in my business, I had to be well balanced in the other areas of my life. I learned that self-discovery, self-care, and spiritual growth were equally or maybe even more important than business success. "
~ Y.A.B. Co-Founder, Brittany Colston
