Am I Allowed to Like Anything?

So. About two years ago I interviewed Yvette Noel-Schure who is Beyoncé’s publicist (and has formerly repped Destiny’s Child, Mariah Carey, and Prince) for a project I never released. This week, I decided to release the interview on #AIATLA because so much of what Yvette talks about is still relevant today and she drops so many amazing gems. Full disclosure: I interned for Yvette at one point in my life during college. We talk about her upbringing in Grenada, moving to Brooklyn at 14-years-old and her days with Destiny’s Child and Mariah Carey.
