We’re looking forward to introducing you to Yella Vanella. Check out our conversation below.
Yella, so good to connect and we’re excited to share your story and insights with our audience. There’s a ton to learn from your story, but let’s start with a warm up before we get into the heart of the interview. What are you being called to do now, that you may have been afraid of before?
I feel as though I may be called to be a beacon of light for people. Some people have the blue print, some people still don’t know what a blue print is. I just want to be able to mentally help those around me and be able to find their way from a dark place, and bring light to situation people would normally ridicule you about.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Im Yella Vanella. Im 32 years old, living in Los Angeles, CA. I am currently a pet groomer, modeling, actress, and I am in the making of creating my own business. I want to create a company store that sells men and women’s clothes, accessories, self care needs, and mental health awareness that deals with philanthropy. My niche is safety and awareness. Comfort style, and sexy, while also giving the feel of affordable wealth. I also work with animals and bringing awareness to the safety and health benefits of animals. More ideas come as the years go by!
Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. What relationship most shaped how you see yourself?
My most recent relationship really snapped me back into reality. I realized that I really love hard. I always wanted to make sure others around me were good. Of course, I love myself and take care of myself, but I started to realise how selfish I was…of myself. I didn’t give that same love I gave others to myself. I always give the most to they’re less to myself. It was so great for others but left me so depleted, and I didn’t even realise until recently. I loved so hard it broke me to my core, and I had to reshape how I really think about going into dealing with anyone. Friendship and and everything. I love everyone so much, but there is no love if I dont love myself more. I never want to let that love go, so I won’t. I am learning how to deeply and respectfully say no and stay away from things that are not for me.
When did you stop hiding your pain and start using it as power?
When I realized I was getting energetically bullied. People tell me im great all the time. ‘Im so wonderful.’ ‘Im so sweet.’ I have an ugly side to. I get upset. I have done things i am not proud of, and I am not ashamed because I always told myself, ‘If you ever feel like you had to tell the whole world, would you be upset if everyone laughed or hated you for it?’ From then on out, I continued to make decisions based off that narrative, and I haven’t regretted anything since. Speaking your truth is so much fun and freeing, you just have to try your best not to listen to the outside world. You have shaken something in them they could NEVER even do themselves. That’s the power of God.
So a lot of these questions go deep, but if you are open to it, we’ve got a few more questions that we’d love to get your take on. What’s a cultural value you protect at all costs?
I really do believe that we as people have a path of our own. I dont believe in cultural divide, but I do believe in keeping the bloodline together. As far as watching who you are supposed to be with, rather that being specified with each gender or race. Spiritually, is the first way to enter into a new life and holds a space for the what is for the future.
Before we go, we’d love to hear your thoughts on some longer-run, legacy type questions. If you knew you had 10 years left, what would you stop doing immediately?
Giving any f**** 🙂
