New York entrepreneur and reality TV star Yandy Smith-Harris says she’s relocated to Atlanta. The move comes as Smith raises her profile in business.
She’s been busy promoting her Yelle skincare line, which is made for people of color.
“I love Atlanta. There are so many young, successful brown people in such a concentrated space. When I walk through Atlanta, I am so motivated by all the black people that own businesses. I’m so motivated by all the women millionaires here.”
“I just bought a house in Atlanta,” she says. “We just closed two weeks ago.”
But Harris says don’t get it twisted: “I’m still a New York girl … but I also have a house here because Atlanta just motivates me.”
Harris isn’t the only celebrity that has relocated to call Atlanta home. The music industry has lured many singers, rappers and producers. But a large number of them were also born here.
