Yolanda Adams: A Shining Star
By: Lory-San Clark, Fashion Editor
The first time I heard Yolanda Adams, I was transported. Those honeyed tones, her phrasing and emotion, moved me to tears. If she did nothing else but sing, that would be enough for the world. In search of some insight into this phenomenal woman, (gotta tell ya, she’s golden), I was astonished to find that singing is only the tip of her iceberg! She is a mother, teacher, friend, radio talk show host, author, philanthropist, Grammy and Dove award winner (multiple), and entrepreneur. Who knew? What possibly is left for this high achiever to accomplish? Staying consistent with her mission to empower, inspire, and motivate you to be your best self, Ms. Adams has stepped (officially) into the world of fashion design.
Her line was launched this summer, with a stunning collection of knits in vivid colors that are reminiscent of St. John and Chanel. Ms. Adams’ inspiration for her collection was sparked over thirty years ago, when she seemed to grow overnight. Suddenly she couldn’t find clothes to fit her long, graceful frame, and without missing a beat, she turned to the sewing machine.
Today she is no less creative. What makes her pieces stand apart is that she has left no woman behind. She bridges the great divide, doing her part to shatter the myth that you must be a size 0 to be a “10”. An appealing feature is free alterations with purchase. The pricing is affordable without sacrificing elegance, comfort or quality.
This collection answers the call from all “exceptional women”; style is not limited to size. Whether you’re petite, rubenesque, or statuesque, you’ll leave a lasting impression and be a shining star in this feminine, versatile, vibrant attire. Kudos!

PS: Never one to stray from her roots as a teacher or mentor, she continues that tradition. Stay tuned for “Taylor’s Corner” (Ms. Adams’ daughter and darling girl) to show us what she’s working with!!!
