We had the good fortune of connecting with Yelitza Liranzo and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Yelitza, as a parent, what do you feel is the most meaningful thing you’ve done for them?
As a parent, being in an industry where I can include my children is absolutely amazing! My girls have witnessed my journey every step of the way. They’ve been able to see how much work goes into running a small business, how important planning is and how rewarding it is to see it all!

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I am in the business of creating special and memorable experiences for kids. I am most excited about being able to put smiles on children, parents, and my team. Prior to Glitter&Glam, I was a top performing retail Store Manager and always focused on winning by delivering a great customer experience. My experience in retail has definitely played a major part in my success as a business owner. Nothing in life is ever easy however when you do what you love it’s FUN!! My biggest challenge was transitioning from having upper management to guide me to actually being the upper manager. I was now responsible for the success of my business as well as the training and development of my team! One of my biggest lessons is “Failing to plan is preparing to fail” From a business plan to planning a birthday party being ready definitely makes the difference. I want the world to know that if I’m doing it so can you! It’s never too early or too late to pursue your dream!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I would definitely take them for a trip to Times Square. This would be in the evening of course in order to appreciate all the New York lighting. The balloon museum is also a must do. It’s a fun, interactive experience that adults and children will enjoy. A roof top bar is also a must in the city and there are plenty of options to choose from! 230 Fifth Rooftop Bar is my personal favorite.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I definitely have to thank my husband for always encouraging me to pursue my dreams! Also, the SCORE team who are a group of mentors that offer free support to small businesses and of course my family and friends for their endless support !
