Seems to be “golden” was Yashidi’s mantra for the day, considering how she flaunts yellow and gold in her fashion choices, as well as in one of her Instagram posts sharing a snippet of Jill Scott’s uplifting sing-along song Golden (2004). .

“How we live in 2023,” she shared in the video’s caption, along with a gold star emoji that showed her flicking her hands through her shoulder-length bob cut.

“I’m livin’ my life like it’s golden – Livin’ my life like it’s golden,” the soul and R&B singer can be heard belting out in the clip in her post.
