Her debut book, A Journey to Becoming the Best Self (Black Rose Writing)—part memoir and part self-help, inspired by Yvette’s post-divorce path from devastation to joy—was published in 2019, and received praise from The U.S. Review of Books.  Book sold at Amazon, Kindle, B&N, and Walmart. 

As a single mother based in New York City—a metropolis she credits for her open mind—Yvette regularly channels her own growth experiences. She has contributed to outlets like SmartCoparent and DivorceHub, authoring articles that focus on maintaining financial health through personal crises.

Ultimately, Yvette’s writing, which seeks to empower and encourage women searching for personalized definitions of success, is an effort to build strong communities through vulnerable and powerful storytelling.
