Image may contain: 1 personImage may contain: 2 people, indoor


Yolanda Brathwaite, @growngirlsnyc, is the creator of GrownGirlsNYC. Born in
Long Island, NY, from a very young age she was motivated to be independent following in her mother’s footsteps. Her mother raised her and her sister as a single parent. Despite any forms of adversity her mother was still able to provide for them without excuses. That strong leadership helped Yolanda to become a positive influence on her two children, family, friends and community.

After graduating from Hempstead High, at the young age of 18 she owned and operated Black Reign Hair Salon. Here she learned early about the hard-work and dedication that is required in life to succeed.
​
In 2014 Yolanda started All Girls/Guys Rocks (AGR) as an apparel company. The idea was to remind the world that despite their circumstances they are strong individuals. With the success of that it grew to include GrownGirlsNYC as well.
​
Yolanda has had her own medical issues as well including kidney failure and being diagnosed with potential breast cancer. Those setbacks have not stopped her. She continues to live her life to its fullest potential. She currently works full-time as an anesthesiology tech. With her youthful energy she even has time to brand and establish GrownGirls NYC as a loving wife, mother and grandmother.

THE POWER OF VISION

Well, last year at around eleven o'clock in the night on January 31, 2016, I made a conscious decision to be sure to do everything different in order to achieve different things in 2017. So, to start off, I went to my first ever Vision Board Party on January 28, 2017. It was the most exciting event I had ever been to in my entire life. It brought so much joy, happiness, and great clarity for more vision. I was so blown away by the positive atmosphere, I did not even finish my board by the end of the event. So, you know I had homework to do. So, a week later, via searching online, I saw a church which was having a FREE Vision Board Party. I said to myself, this is indeed a great opportunity for me to attend that event in order for me to finish my board. I instantly was motivated to be there. So sure enough, I attended, and not only did I finish my first Vision Board, I began another one, being more specific based on more clarity. I was overly excited. As I was at the second Visi...

HAPPY WOMEN'S MONTH 2017: Honoring Frantzlie Vaval

My name is Frantzlie Vaval, I was born in Montreal, Canada and moved to the United States when I was 13 years old with my family. I must say it was difficult adjusting to a new culture and language.  Looking back, I can say that I conquered many adversities, and always knew with God and family, I would be able to overcome them. I was raised in a Christian home and I see the values that were instilled in me helped me become the woman that I am today.  I currently work as a Public Health adviser. I enjoy working with different communities, and helping people in need of advice. I also work as a Realtor agent, since I enjoy helping others find a place to call home. There are different things that I enjoy doing, but I can truly say that I have a passion in music. I was raised around musicians, my father is a choir director, my mother, sisters and I all sing.  I currently direct a choir as well. I guess I followed in my father's footsteps.  One thing I re...
