Yvonne Bailey

Yvonne Bailey is an entrepreneur and writer based in Los Angeles. After dropping out of college at 18 years old, Bailey went on to make her way in the public relations and marketing industry. Starting her career at Spectrum Marketing, one of the largest direct mail firms in America, Bailey learned a knack for communication and copywriting.

At only 19 years old, she grossed nearly $1M in sales for the company and went on to manage some of the company’s most exciting clients. After leaving Spectrum, Bailey worked in the newsroom of one of the nation’s most exciting non-profit news outlets learning how to create a compelling story. She worked along producers from CBS and Dr. Phil to create compelling video and written content that garners views. At just 25, Bailey started her first business, FLO Communications, which she bootstrapped to a 7 figure agency by the time she was 27 years old. FLO Communications is a full service public relations and crisis communications agency that works with startup founders, influencers, and clients with government affairs crises. Her clients have been featured in a diverse array of outlets including Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, The Daily Mail, The New York Times, and more!

Since starting her own business, Bailey has gone on to help other women, LGBTQ + BIPOC individuals embrace entrepreneurship and start their own businesses. She has been a mentor to several young business owners who decide to forge their own path of entrepreneurship instead of embracing traditional 9 to 5s. As she heads into the next phase of her career, Bailey has been focused keenly on writing and book publishing. Through her second company, Flo Books, she works with talented authors who work to tell their complex stories through the written word. In the coming months, Flo Books will release their first nonfiction book and their first children’s book that highlights some of the most important and under-told stories of our time.
