Veronique Mercidieu As Cover Story Interview – July 2025 Magazine Edition
How do you introduce yourself?
Hi, I’m Veronique M. Pierre—author, entrepreneur, mental health advocate, and Ms. International World Haiti. I’m the founder of YCW Royalty, LLC, a faith-based apparel and lifestyle brand that encourages self-love, therapy, and bold faith. I’m also the author of “The Strongest Woman in the World is You,” a self-love journal designed to help women heal, reflect, and grow in their purpose. In addition, I’m the founder and CEO of Roses Without Thorns Inc., a nonprofit organization raising mental health awareness locally and globally through education and community outreach.
Struggle – What hardships have you gone through in life?
I’ve faced emotional pain, heartbreak, spiritual warfare, financial hardship, betrayal, and anxiety. There were seasons where I felt completely unseen and unheard—but through therapy, prayer, determination, and deep inner work, I reclaimed my voice and identity. That healing journey fuels everything I do today and continues to shape the purpose behind every project I launch.
What do people usually not know about you?
People often assume I’m always strong or fully put together, but what they don’t see are the quiet moments I’ve cried out to God, the battles I’ve fought privately, or the times I chose therapy over silence. I’m also an introvert at heart—even though I’m not afraid to step out of my comfort zone when purpose calls.
What sets you apart from others?
I’m more than just a pretty face—I lead with transparency, faith, and intention. I don’t just sell products; I share my story, my healing, and my truth in hopes that someone else feels seen, empowered, and reminded they’re not alone. YCW Royalty is not just a brand—it’s a movement committed to normalizing therapy, emotional healing, and self-worth in a spiritually grounded way.
What are your upcoming major events?
I’m preparing for the 2026 relaunch of YCW Royalty, which includes new apparel collections, pop-up events, and potential collaborations with faith-based mental health professionals. I’m also working on showcasing my book and brand at Art Basel, as well as expanding into wellness-centered expos, fashion shows, and other creative spaces.
What expert advice would you like to give?
Don’t be afraid to heal loudly. You can love God and still need help. Therapy isn’t the absence of faith—it’s often the tool God uses to restore us. Be intentional about protecting your peace and doing the inner work. Also, don’t be afraid to be yourself and say no. It’s your life—your rules. People will adjust. And if they don’t? Oh well. Keep going, keep thriving, and keep shining. Your healing journey is sacred.
