Founder & CEO
Shanley Simpson
You Go Girl Co., a new greeting card company made for her. She has spent most of her career owning and operating Opportune Independent PublishingCo., a successful independent publishing company in Dallas, TX. She is a seasoned author and has built a career in writing, which made for an easy transition to writing and designing greeting cards. Over the years, Shanley identified that there was a gap in the greeting card industry and who else better to fill it than an author and publisher? She went on to launch You Go Girl Co. and fill it with underrepresented features and profiles of black and brown people.
As the COVID-19 Pandemic continued, Shanley decided to use her newfound spare time to grow this new business venture and fulfill a personal mission to do her part as it relates to the long-standing social gaps in society. Her dream is to help fill in those spaces, one card at a time.
