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

Hi Yolanda, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Launching my own business was fueled by the desire to flourish and fulfill my potential, aligning with my purpose. It stems from recognizing the innate power within me, acknowledging that I have the capability to craft the life I envision.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Bougiewild isn’t just a trademark; it’s my cosmic gift. Turning negativity into positivity, I combined “Bougie” and “Wild” to create a movement – Can’t Be Boxed, Free To Be. On a mission to shatter societal norms and raise awareness about the judgment that stems from biases. It’s been a journey of sensitivity, lessons, and turning hurts into songs. The world needs authenticity, and it’s my responsibility to be me. #Bougiewild #FreeToBe #AuthenticityJourney

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
