 After fighting her way out of childhood poverty, she was selected as one of Pasadena's 50 most fabulous women. Yolanda Mitchell Brown is the co-creator and executive producer of Every Way Woman. Thank you for joining us, Yolanda Mitchell Brown. Thank you for having me, Brooke Peterson. All right, so just to jump on into it, I read that your grandmother was a huge influence on your young adult life. Yes. So tell us, in just a few words, what do you think in a nutshell that she taught you? What was her, your big takeaway from your grandmother? Oh, never give up. That was it. Never give up. And I guess just enjoy life, you know? She enjoys life so much now. It's amazing. I look up and she's in South Beach, y'all. She's doing this and she's doing that. And she doesn't apologize either for being herself. That's another thing. A lot of people have always tried to change me or change other people. And I don't apologize for who I am.
