About Yvette

Entrepreneur, filmmaker, and author Yvette Araujo knows there are no shortcuts in life. She has faced and overcome her fair share of hurdles in order to achieve the success she currently enjoys. Yvette is the founder and CEO of Trinity Films Productions and author of Fallen: The Book Series, a supernatural trilogy wherein Yvette skillfully weaves the fates of the stories’ seven archangels who exist as humans but yet remain unaware of their heavenly identities.

Born in Sicily, Italy, Yvette and her parents moved to the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan when she was eight. She wound up relocating to the Netherlands for several years while growing up before ultimately returning back to the states to complete her formal education. As a single mother, in an effort to support her children,

Yvette found herself working double and triple shifts, six days a week, as a counselor treating conduct-disorder and offense-specific adolescent males. It was fitting since she’d always had a passion to help, yet there was still something unfulfilled in her.

Yvette has always had a thirst for the arts but had never much delved into them aside from her time at university. But then one night after work, when the world was quiet and asleep, she became intrigued by the idea of humanity, religion, and the true nature of the supernatural. She put her thoughts to paper and thereafter found writing to be a form of therapy. She went on to author her book series.

For Yvette, the most important element of any story is to expose the human condition. She knows it must connect with people — to resonate with what is going on in the world around us. It was this love of storytelling that ultimately led Yvette to her true passion of producing and the magic that surrounds it. “Reading a manuscript or screenplay is ground zero,” says Yvette. “But watching the words and imagination come to life by the actors is the real adventure.”

Yvette’s producing journey started in 2002 with the Detroit talk show "Sister Blvd.,” which she executive produced with her then production company Ground Floor Productions. “Sister Blvd.,” which aired on the WB and PAX before it was sold to Hallmark Channel, was a fast-paced, interactive hour between its female co-hosts, guests, and audience, with round-table discussions on contemporary issues. It remains one of her proudest accomplishments to date.

In 2006, Yvette founded Trinity Films Productions where she holds the title of CEO and is in production on several new projects including a mini-series, a murder mystery short, a comedy short, and a docu-drama on the AIDS/HIV epidemic.

Yvette has always been passionate about philanthropy and dedicates much of her time to “Woman Strong,” whose mission is to empower, inspire and challenge the world, one daughter at a time.
