Meet Yolanda Stokes | Business Owner

We had the good fortune of connecting with Yolanda Stokes and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Yolanda, do you have a budget?
I most definitely have a budget. Over the years, I have learned that success with personal finances require a budget. I make lifestyle and spending decisions by saving for items that I want or creating a plan that will allow me to purchase items without creating debt.

I have recently begun a YouTube channel – The Budgeting Accountant. This is where I share information about budgeting and create a stable financial journey along with lifestyle.  I love to share with those interested in being better financially while living and enjoying life. On this channel, I will infuse my life and hair care products which will allow others to see how I use the products myself and what they’re beneficial for.  I will also show lifestyle and how we can successfully budget and enjoy life by planning and being fiscally responsible.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am an auditor of over 25 years. I enjoy numbers and processes and creating a finished product. I have also enjoyed creating budgets that will form a successful financial journey and plan. This has come from my personal journey of raising two children as a single parent. I have gotten where I am professionally by my faith and a strong belief system that includes my savior and belief that He is in control of my life and success.

I want the world to know that my brand is made from a need that I saw needed to be solved. I needed a product that worked for my hair and was made from simple quality products but smelled great at the same time. The products that I have created are pure and made with care.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Charlotte, NC has some great spots to enjoy and relax. Of course there are amazing places to eat and play. Wonderful places to enjoy are spas and places to relax. I enjoy Hand and Stone as well as Massage Envy.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
I am thankful for my circle of friends/mentors. The women that I have great friendships with have mentored me by just being themselves- strong, business minded, prayerful and helpers of others. They are innovative and excellent at making their vision into reality. They have helped me to be a risk taker and put the action behind the dream in spite of fear.
