Yonna Jay: Growing Up in a Trailer, Being on Drake’s Album, Getting Voted Out on Netflix & More!

This week on Me & Who Els, we sit down with #YonnaJay for her very first podcast ever. Before the 6 million followers, the viral clips, and the big moments, Yonna was a girl growing up in a trailer in North Carolina. She opens up about the hardest parts of her childhood: a home that was falling apart, substance abuse in the household, moving in with her grandparents during COVID, and stepping up to take care of her little sister while working her first job at Bojangles. She also gets real about her battle with depression, dealing with racism at school, and how turning her life to God changed everything. From there, we talk about how she made it: her very first viral account, getting accepted into #StreamerUniversity after a DM from #KaiCenat, hearing her voice on a #Drake album, walking New York Fashion Week with Coach, and her experience on Netflix, including the moment that didn’t make the cut. She also opens up about being a woman in streaming and why she always stands up against hate in her community. We hope you guys enjoyed this episode as much as we did! Stay tuned to see Who Els is Next??
