Yolanda Young

Yolanda Young is the founder of this humble enterprise. The attorney is a graduate of the Georgetown University Law Center and Howard University. A frequent contributor to USA Today, she has also written for The Washington Post and Essence Magazine.

In 2003 Random House published her memoir, On Our Way To Beautiful, which received widespread critical praise. The author has been featured on The Oprah Winfrey Show, NPR and Black Entertainment Television (BET). She has testified before the United States Congress regarding domestic violence and Head Start and addressed college audiences at Vassar College, Dillard University, and The National Association of Black Journalists. Currently, her award-winning television commentaries are seen on DCTV.

Young is assisted in this endeavor by folks she affectionately refers to as OBABL Staff. This group is comprised of friends (who conveniently are quite tech savvy), starving students (interns) and recently unemployed journalists. We are all hopeful that this site will make us rich and famous, so do visit often.
