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

Hi Yella, how do you think about risk?
What I think about risk taking is that I believe Risk takes guts, fear, humility, etc….. It’s almost not even a risk if you aren’t a little bit scared. My whole movement is about truth and the truth is, there are many things you do not know about. You find those things in…..risk. Risk taking has impacted my life to be greater because I have watched myself become more and more powerful with the things that I struggled with, gaining more control over the things that I CAN control, and it is making my movement that much closer to being able to show the world that the truth lies within you.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
So, I created Yella Moment of Movements. It’s my  company based off of truth. I never looked at the truth as something you can look up in a dictionary, or find just through clarification. No, I mean the truth that hurts. The truth that changes you. The truth that nobody understands, so we distort it so others can comprehend. What I did in my life was stop being so apologetic. I learn to be myself and use that to help others around myself. People will look at you funny, let them laugh. They probably haven’t laughed in a while. Be so grounded in your truth that nobody can disrupt it! The longer you last, the more you will see how you can actually laugh with them. What I want the world to know is….Yella Means Light. Light Is Truth. The Truth Is, Be You, So Be True.

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
If my best friend was visiting the area, I would first take them to the beach. Let’s relax from that long trip hunny! I’m a big food person, so whatever they want to eat..we are there! I already know people love to shop so throughout the day I would take them to the mall or some spots that I have been to as well! They need to get something cute because later that day we are hitting the boulevard and strutting our stuff! That’s just day one! We will repeat each day with new activities, except each activity before the night time will involve something to elevate us. Reading, cooking at home, movie time….ANYTHING. My main goal is to make sure they get what THEY want and not just what I think they want. Come on friend let’s go! 🙂

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I just want to dedicate this shoutout to anyone I have ever met and going to meet. To the opportunities I have had, and will have. I am not one to regret things so I always find love in the things I encounter. I learn from it, or you, and if I need to move on…I move on. Thank you to my past, present and future everything.
