About Us

Credit. Capital. Confidence. Community.

Yonne’s Essentials Mentorship Program (YEMP) was founded in 2019 by visionary entrepreneur Lawanda Freeman, with a mission to provide elite-level guidance in the essentials that every entrepreneur needs to thrive: credit, mentorship, and financial literacy.

From day one, Lawanda cultivated a space defined by luxury, excellence, and intentional transformation—a refined experience for those who desire not only information, but elevation.

At YEMP, we don’t offer generic programs.
We curate an exclusive, results-driven mentorship ecosystem for high-achieving professionals, founders, and legacy builders who are ready to move with precision and purpose.

Our mentors, partners, and advisors are hand-selected not only for their expertise, but for their commitment to luxury-level service, discretion, and personalized strategy. Each client is treated as a VIP—with white-glove support, tailored guidance, and access to the tools needed to secure $25,000–$100,000+ in capital, restructure their credit, and unlock new levels of business growth.

We are a close-knit, high-caliber community of innovators, decision-makers, and dream-executors. Together, we share a powerful truth:

The right connections, strategy, and capital can change everything.

Whether you're rebuilding, expanding, or launching, YEMP gives you the resources, mentorship, and funding access for your next great business venture—with elegance, integrity, and impact.

Why We Serve

We serve because we’ve been where you are—underserved, underestimated, and under-informed.

YEMP was built to be the program we wish existed:
A luxurious, high-touch experience where mentorship meets mastery.
Where clients are treated with respect, strategy is personal, and credit becomes a tool, not a limitation.

Our founder didn’t just create a program—she created a movement that empowers people to lead their lives and businesses with confidence, clarity, and capital.
