S8. E. 8 How Michelle Cadore Is Empowering Women Through Fashion

Presented by Mastercard To today’s guest, fashion is not only a passion, but also a vehicle to empower others. Michelle Cadore is the designer, CEO, and visionary behind YES I AM, a clothing brand that seeks to inspire others to tell their stories of triumph. Founded in 2016, YES I AM designs feature messages of empowerment like “Queens empower queens,” “Know your worth,” and “Faith it ‘Till You Make it.” And that’s not all Michelle does. She’s also the co-owner of Brooklyn-based fashion boutique DA SPOT NYC, which showcases 50+ independent creative brands owned by people of color, including her YES I AM line. Michelle clearly has a knack for entrepreneurship, and she’s made it her mission to use her business platforms to elevate and inspire other women. She took this mission a step further last year when she launched Cadore Advisory Group, a business consultancy firm dedicated to helping small businesses grow and reach their full potential. You may have also caught her creations on display at a past Create & Cultivate event. In this episode of WorkParty, we sit down with Michelle to learn how she brought her entrepreneurial visions to life and how she’s using fashion to empower others.
