How it started How it’s going
I started Yococo at 23 in order to serve my purpose of serving love and I had an idea of what that meant and how to go about it BUT as I’m growing I’m understanding more what that means. Thank you to you all for growing with me♥️

Mom: maybe this is a hobby please get a job.
Yesterday,
Mom: I’m so proud of you I see what you are doing.
Basically it looks like a mess for a long time but it will come together bit by bit. You keep your vision clear to yourself most importantly.

5 years ago today I registered Yococo and then sat with analysis paralysis for the next 4 months.
Since then we’ve interacted with more than 10k of you, been on the M&G Top 200, gone to Amsterdam with Investec, moved out of the apartment kitchen & supply stores. What a RIDE!

The magic is all in the journey and the process it takes to become what you envision for yourself.
We have been at it for almost 4 years and we haven’t “arrived” and probably never will because it’s about growth and learning and that never stops.
Thank you for being here!!♥️

Three years ago today we were a team of two just a friend helping a friend start her business. We went to our first “interview” to be part of a market and we started trading a few days after. 3 years later we are a completely different team and we’ve grown so much personally.
