In a 2014 interview, Yolanda was asked, “If you were born again, what would you do?” “Sing!, she eagerly replied. When asked, what she wouldn’t do, she quickly answered, “Not get married!”
In a career that spans fifty years and counting, Yolanda has experienced it all. She survived racism, sexism, spousal abuse, vicious rumors, and the trials and tribulations of being a strong woman in a male-dominated industry. According to Yolanda, “It was hard. You have to demonstrate who you are, how you are, and what you’re capable of. This is not to say there weren’t incidents but, “Ay Que Braviar, Ay Que Guapiar!” On occasion, I’ve had to put some people in their place but overall, I’ve been lucky.”
