We had the good fortune of connecting with Vandy Young and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Vandy, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
The most important factor behind my success are my kids. When you want to achieve more in life you ask what else can I do and you do it. You jump out on faith for what’s most important to you and never look back. When you make your brand your focus nothing can stop you from success.

What should our readers know about your business?
My business is ran as a family oriented business. I make sure no one is left behind or even feels left out. Yes, we have challenges but everyone is heard and there’s always a solution to our success. I’ve learned along the way that nothing is perfect and everyday is a learning process to develop our brand. I want the world to know that Upscale is on a rise and nothing can stop this brand.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
My favorite spot in the city would be half shell oysters for food, black market for food and drinks and for our nightlife it would have to be Courtyard, The Vault and Hush.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My first shoutout goes to my brother Orlandez and sister in law Patricia for even introducing me to the modeling industry and guidance with the ins and outs. My second shout out is to my number one business partner Will Calhoun for always believing in me with any and every idea I have. My third shoutout is to my CEO Kielo AKA BakEnShawty for always being hisself and never giving up on his dreams. My fourth shoutout is to my team who I love and admire the most which are Star, Diamond, Malik, Nichelle, Somalya, Taja, Brhianna and Keli. I want to make sure we all make it to the top respectful and in order.
