“I think before Phi Mu, I didn’t always realize what I was capable of. Now, I feel so much more sure of who I am and what I can do, especially when you have 600+ women rooting you on!”
From growing up in Atlanta, Georgia, to becoming President of Phi Mu at Ole Miss and now collaborating with Cocolillys, Yussi reflects on her journey and dedication to everything she does.
Yussi went through recruitment in 2023 and felt an instant connection to Phi Mu. “Phi Mu was the one place that just felt right to me,” Yussi says. “I didn’t have to force anything or overthink it. I just felt comfortable and seen in a way I hadn’t before.” Since joining and becoming President, Yussi has found friendship, confidence and leadership. She pays homage to her sisters for their encouragement and support. “I truly don’t understand how I got so lucky to be serving as Chapter President because of how in awe I am of my fellow sisters. They have taught me how to trust myself, how to show up for people and how to be present in every moment. From life to school to my creative work, Phi Mu has been such a big part of it.”
Yussi puts this same passion and love into her pieces with her collaboration with Cocolillys. Pulled from vintage vibes, bold colors, textures and little details, she has put together a collection that is sure to impress anyone with good taste. “I really wanted everything to feel fun and feminine but still something you could wear in your own way.” Her collaboration has given her the opportunity to design pieces, see them come to life and meet some amazing people along the way. “My collaboration with Cocolillys has been so fun and such a dream. I am excited for the people and my sisters to see something I’ve put so much love into!”
You can find Yussi’s pieces at Cocolillys, launching LIVE @ 5:00 p.m. CT! Congrats Yussi!
