That mantra carried Yandy Smith-Harris from Harlem’s Grant Projects to global stages, multimillion-dollar brands, and becoming one of the most influential women in entertainment and entrepreneurship.

In this deeply raw and transformative episode of Inside the Vault with Ash Cash, Yandy opens up in a way the world has never heard. She breaks down the hustle, the heartbreak, the purpose, and the identity shift that pushed her to build an empire — even when the odds were stacked against her.

Yandy shares:

• How she rose from intern to managing icons like Missy Elliott & Jim Jones

• The business blueprint behind turning Love & Hip Hop into a franchise

• How she scaled YELL Skincare into Bloomingdale’s—starting from her kitchen

• Why “I can’t go back” fuels every decision, every business, every move

• The ownership, wealth, and leadership lessons she teaches her kids

• Her journey through activism, motherhood, and protecting her peace in the spotlight
