Intro….

Hello, my name is Alicia Mitchell. I’m from Dallas, TX. I’m the owner of the podcast OTC (OnTheCooL) and a community activist. I have two beautiful daughters that I love to be a source of resilience for. I’ve been an Ambassador at Kids U and am currently an Opportunity Coach for Big Thought but also a Program Trainer for CompUDopt. Also, an avid member of NAACP Dallas.

Tell us about your business.

I currently own the podcast OTC! I do all marketing, promotions, and communications for it. I am constantly rebranding myself and pivoting the success for it! My podcast is about self-improvement and personal empowerment. My podcast is absolutely free and I’m now open to having guests and participating along with being a guest host on other podcasts as well. You can book me on podcastsguest.com. I’m sure on my way though!

How does your brand/business stand out?

It is very unique. I speak on vulnerability, accepting your truth, and being the best version of yourself.

How has your business changed you?

It has been a challenge to bring balance and find time for it in a busy schedule. It has changed me for the better by allowing me to be open to all possibilities.

How do you set new standards for your industry?

Allowing myself to break the glass ceiling but to never throw stones living in a glass house.

What is the best part about working with your clients/customers?

The best part about working with my listeners and viewers is getting to know them better. Enjoying the feedback and writing bonus episodes for them that air on my podcast.

Aside from products or a provided service, what intangible things do you hope your clients gain?

A healthier life experience while enjoying all it has to offer. To be comfortable with who they are and to allow room for continuous improvement.

Meet Yassy Brown

Industry

Fashion

Introduction….

Meet Yasmin (Yassy) Brown, a Houston Mogul in the making. Yassy graduated from Eisenhower High School and headed straight to college for Fashion Design. Yassy decided she wanted to be more than just a Fashion Designer, so she started her own Modeling Agency by the name of “Haute Model Management” (HMM) with some of Houston’s Hottest Models, and influencers under the HMM brand. Yassy also won an award for Houston Hottest Modeling Agency.

Yassy has done a plethora of Fashion Shows and has produced and co-produced more than eight Amazing Fashion shows of her own. Yassy has been one of Houston’s Runway Extraordinaire Coaches for the past seven years and counting. She became a Model Teacher at Barbizon USA until she decided to part ways with the company to pay more attention to her brand and family. Although good things came to an end for Yassy Brown in the Modeling Scene. Yassy didn’t stop there, she took time off to spend quality time with her family Omar, Brayden, & Kai.

A New Beginning…

In 2018 Yassy decided to come back in the Fashion Scene to take 2019 by storm, and she did. She has had successful sold-out model Runway Workshops, became a Runway Director for Haute Houston, and produced her fifth Successful Fashion show under the name “Fashion Haus” alongside her team members: Kia Renee & Felicia Eboni.

Now working on her sixth Fashion Haus Show. Outside of Fashion, Yassy also has an organization by the name of “MomsofHTX” that is open for all mothers who are seeking support and friendships. MOMS OF HTX is set around daily activities that appeal to moms and children of all ages. Yassy Brown has made a Platform for Houston’s Fashion Scene since 2010 by giving models, photographers, designers, and interns opportunities to make a name for themselves and to show what Talent Houston has to offer in the industry. She has made a BIG Impact in Houston and does not plan on stopping anytime soon.

Who/What is your source of motivation?

My children are my motivation as far as starting my own company. I also wanted to make changes within the fashion world.

What makes your brand/business stand out?

Haus of Brown stands out because we make something magical. We appease the client in that we make them feel seen and heard and help them bring their vision to life and more.

How do you set new standards for your industry?

We are setting new standards by keeping up with current trends and setting new ones.

Experience, Knowledge, Values, Culture, Communication

Women in Suits Event

Mixed Talk Media had the pleasure of attending Yassy’s recent event, Women In Suits. The enegery was eletric. The fashion was haute.

Women and men both rocked suits as they networked, shopped, and soaked in the vibes from the DJ. Vendors with great finds and valuable resources lined the event.

During the event there were fun games that kept the crowd engaged, an opportunity for entrepreneurs to share about their brands, and an award ceremony to spotlight entrenpreuers who are dedicated to their cause, brand, and community.

Follow Yassy

“As tough as being your own boss is, the dedication and tireless work is well worth the reward. Continue to focus on your dreams and never give up.”
