Why Get Elevated Women’s Conference & Why Now
An Amazing Discovery About Women When they shared their stories with other women, they found that women all over were feeling stuck and unsure of how to move forward. Felicia & Yetta quickly realized that women were looking for something more. They wanted to feel more empowered in their lives. They yearned for a life that honors their need for connection, confidence and harmony between their personal and professional lives so that they could be more fulfilled.
Yetta Young is the CEO & Executive Producer of YYP & Associates, LLC, a production, management and consulting firm specializing in producing extraordinary events. She has a keen ability to help bring clarity to the ultimate vision a client has for their project and works with her clients on vision casting, the front and backend and all the logistics in between. She has been called a Visionary, a Connector, Mover of Light and a Behind-the-Scenes-Fixer. A highly sought after producer, Yetta’s work has traveled both nationally and internationally and appeared before millions on the Bravo Network’s Real Housewives of Atlanta, the Tom Joyner Cruise, the National Black Theatre Festival, the Beverly Hills NAACP Theatre Awards and in theatre’s across the country. She was the first Executive Director of the Lyric Theatre and Cultural Arts Center and has appeared on ABC WTVQ36 News, KET’s Connections with Renee Shaw, DC’s News Channel 8 “Let’s Talk Live” and the nationally syndicated radio shows – The Steve Harvey Morning Show, The Tom Joyner Morning Show and The Russ Parr Morning Show. Yetta is the author of upcoming stageplay, Butterfly Confessions.
It was through these heartfelt conversations, many of which mirrored their own lives, that the idea for the Get Elevated Women’s Conference was born. The theme Success Redefined: Elevating without Boundaries perfectly describes what will be a life-changing experience! Now is the time to be a part of a movement that will change the lives of women around the world!
“A sincere soul that gets the job done, big or small, Yetta Young should be at the top of your “go to” list as a Director and Producer.” Shonnese C.L. Coleman, Entertainment Professional
Two Life-Altering Moments The vision for this conference started a little over eighteen months ago as a result of Yetta and Felicia both experiencing life-altering events that completely shifted their lives causing them to look at life through brand new lenses. After years of being told that she could not give birth, Yetta realized that miracles do happen and became a mother at the age of 42. Felicia was diagnosed with malignant hypertension 8 years ago, had one week hospital stays the last 4 and suffered her 2nd stressinduced stroke at the age of 41. The Gift & Curse of Life’s Blessings While being given the gift of motherhood was certainly a blessing to Yetta, the high-risk pregnancy offered its own set of complications. With the challenges of both new motherhood and being the Executive Director of a start-up theater and cultural arts center, Yetta found herself feeling depressed and disconnected. Felicia was certainly thankful for the gift of life, but the stroke left her in a state of depression with many side effects such as a slight speech impediment, loss of memory and loss of the full function of her right hand and foot. It was in this moment of darkness that these two friends came together in support of and lifting one another up, that they realized they could not let their circumstances circumvent their progress.
