Summary

You know her as Shirley on Community, but before she enrolled at Greendale, Yvette Nicole Brown was a junior high schooler trying to figure out crushes and learn valuable life lessons, all while navigating an aspiring music career alongside Bell Biv DeVoe and Boyz II Men.
Yvette also shares a story of how a middle school experience proved that evil is a real thing and how she's been able to stay friends with her life-changing high school sweetheart. 
Plus, Danielle shares her Janet Jackson concert experience, coincidentally seated right next to Yvonne, here on Teen Beat!
