Yogi’s Jewels was founded in honor of Yolanda “Yogi” Starks White, a compassionate mentor whose vision was to uplift and empower women from all walks of life. Her dedication to personal growth, wellbeing, and community support is the foundation upon which our nonprofit stands.

Our Journey and Inspiration
Yogi’s Jewels began as a heartfelt vision, inspired by the remarkable life and legacy of Yolanda “Yogi” Starks White. Driven by a passion to empower women and foster personal growth, Yogi dedicated her life to uplifting others, serving as a mentor, coach, and source of strength within her community.
From its earliest days, Yogi’s Jewels has grown into a vibrant nonprofit dedicated to women’s empowerment, wellbeing, and support. Through seminars, resources, and nurturing guidance, we strive to continue Yogi’s mission—creating safe spaces where women can discover their potential and build meaningful connections.
Every milestone we achieve is rooted in Yogi’s unwavering belief that every woman deserves encouragement and opportunity. Her compassion and wisdom remain at the heart of everything we do, inspiring us to offer mentorship, life coaching, and programs that help women shine in every facet of life.
As Yogi’s Jewels evolves, we honor Yogi’s legacy by championing personal growth, resilience, and unity among women. We invite you to join our community, share in our journey, and help us nurture a brighter future for women everywhere.
