Rosalyn Yellin and RO-MiNA Ustayev, two familiar faces, are about to take the global stage in the new Netflix reality series Members Only: Palm Beach, premiering December 22. The show offers an inside look at life inside one of America’s most exclusive communities, and for these two women with deep Bucks County roots, the moment feels both surreal and long overdue.
In their Bucks County era, these ladies rocked the stage at the 2019 Happenistas Night Out fashion show, but life has taken them far from home in the years since. Now they return to our pages as breakout stars on one of the world’s biggest streaming platforms.

Rosalyn Yellin: From Bucks County Matriarch to Palm Beach Philanthropist
Rosalyn’s journey to Palm Beach began when her twin boys, the youngest of her five children, left for college. She and her husband had always dreamed of a life in Florida, and after raising their family in Bucks County, it finally felt like the right time to make the leap.
After moving into their empty nesters home, Rosalyn poured herself into philanthropy. It quickly became her passion and her purpose. Today she is deeply involved with several Palm Beach charities, including the America First Gala and Red White and Vogue, both of which raise funds for veterans. She also works closely with Cancer Alliance of Help and Hope, Place of Hope, and HealthCorps. This spring she will take the stage at The Breakers for Dance the Night Away in support of the Cancer Alliance.
Her growing presence in the Palm Beach social and charity scene eventually caught the eye of producers. Two women originally approached for the series recommended her, and Rosalyn in turn recommended RO-MiNA. Filming became a transformational experience.

“I found my inner voice and stood up for myself for the first time in my life,” Rosalyn shared. “I still have a hard time with it, but I am getting better. I learned so much about myself.”
Her family is thrilled for her, especially her five children. In a town steeped in old world customs and discretion, the Palm Beach community has had mixed reactions. But Rosalyn believes the world is eager to see what makes it so unique.
“This show will not disappoint. It touches on everything that makes Palm Beach special.”
Looking ahead, Rosalyn is preparing to launch her own supplement line, Yuvetica Longevity and Vitality, a project she has been developing for nearly two years. Through it all, she remains deeply connected to Bucks County.
“No matter what I do in my life, I will never forget the 24 years I lived there. Bucks County is full of wonderful people.”

For RO-MiNA, joining a Netflix series is nothing short of a dream come true.
“It feels surreal. I have always wanted to be on a reality show, so this is wild and a dream come true. And what better network than Netflix.”
Life has been a whirlwind for her in recent years. She has welcomed two more sons, moved to Florida, released new music, traveled extensively, and launched her fashion line, ROMi Runway.
Her connection to Palm Beach, and ultimately to the show, began with Rosalyn inviting her to charity events, galas, and the kind of exclusive gatherings that define the social landscape of the island. One moment in particular felt like fate.
“When I got a selfie with the President, I knew that anything was possible. Here I was, a girl from Uzbekistan who grew up in the suburbs of Philly, getting a selfie with Donald Trump himself. That was a pivotal moment. I knew being part of this show would open even more doors.”
After Rosalyn referred her to the casting team, RO-MiNA approached the opportunity with equal parts excitement and caution. She had seen her share of false promises in the entertainment world. But when a full production crew arrived at her home for an initial interview, she knew this was real.
Filming brought its challenges.
“There was a moment when I got overwhelmed and cried. I tried to run out, and the cameras followed me. That was when I realized this was my life now.”

Still, the experience was unforgettable. Her most meaningful moment came during the filming of her birthday party, where she performed her own music and showcased a custom ROMi collection on a runway suspended above a pool.
“It was surreal. I could not get the words out during my speech because the tears kept coming. It was one of those moments where I thought, whoa, I made it.”
With the premiere approaching, RO-MiNA is releasing a new song called “Dreamer,” inspired by her journey through filming. She is also working on a new ROMi Runway collection.
“This is only the beginning.”
A Bucks County Legacy, A Palm Beach Spotlight
While Rosalyn and RO-MiNA now live under the sunny skies of Palm Beach, their stories began in Bucks County. Members Only: Palm Beach premieres December 29 on Netflix.
Stay tuned for more from Rosalyn and RO-MiNA as they continue their journeys from our hometown to international screens.
