Business owner and FAMU alumna Michaela “Mickey” Yant, has always had a love for art.

Starting off painting pieces for fun, college opened a new door for Yant and her ideas.

“People would come in my dorm room all the time, see my art on the wall and ask me to make things for them.”

After realizing how much clientele she attracted doing what she loved, it initiated the birth of Mickeyyant.

Mickeyyant offers a variety of artistic needs to any and everyone. From personal portraits, to painted jackets and stylish baseball caps, Yant has stepped into a world where the demand for her art will always be steady.

“When I realized I was making decent money, that’s when the business aspect came about.” says Yant. “On just customized apparel, I would say i do six pieces a week. Im hoping to increase that number within the next month or so.”

Currently in graduation season, Mickeyyant has also been taking orders for customized grad caps for just $25.

FAMU alumnae Nelkeya Wood and Allysen Burse, describes their experience with Mickeyyant.

“She was amazing,” says Wood. “She's such a sweet person. My cap was beautiful, it captured the true essence of my experience here on the hill. I highly recommend her.”

“I absolutely loved my grad cap! It was so well put together and it turned out exactly how I wanted it,” says Burse.
