Heylo! My name is Yoli Ouiya, a Sustainable Consultant, Healthy Living Expert, Proud Evolved Leo, and Lover of all Epic Food. I've been noted as the “Queen of Green”. I'm currently Chief Eco Officer and Founder of sustainable and natural lifestyle website YolisGreenLiving.com.
I've had some kewel things happen like being featured on variety of "Best Of" compilations including: Black Enterprise's “Top 20 National Bloggers” of 2012, "Best in Green Living” by AllParenting.com, “Top 17 Black Woman Bloggers to Watch in 2013″ by ForHarriet.com, and "Five Black Women Chefs We Love" by Clutch Magazine. Last year I even won an award as a Pioneering Woman in Media. With a certification in Plant Based Nutrition from Cornell, I travel often for speaking engagements, offering workshops, lectures, and organizing a variety of eco-chic, wellness themed events and campaigns.

I'm a Jill of many trades and a master of a handful.
- I was a Creative Director for Wu Tang.
- I am a pseudo retired chef. Martina Navratilova, Russell Simmons, and Corey Feldman are just some people who've eaten my food.
- I'm a native New Yorker. Born and Raised!
- My mom is from New York. My dad is from West Africa.
- I'm co-producing two web series: Yoli's Green Living and Techsincolor.
- I'm a chic geek. I started in tech as IT support at HBO then went on to be a designer and tech marketer at Yahoo Internet Life and PCMAG magazines. I'm a tech OG.
- I'm greedy. I love food. Nothing in this world is better than a beautiful sweet and savory french toast. Breakfast for dinner!!!!
