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

Hi Tesia, can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
Business entrepreneurship has always been a goal of mine. As a creative person with many different passions and interests, it just made sense for me to create my own lane. My business name, A Vibe Called Tess, is derived from my first name, Tesia. A Vibe Called Tess is a brand that identifies with who I am as a person. I am an artist, I am a Psychology major, I am a holistic coach, I am a spiritually conscious soul. A Vibe Called Tess merges holistic lifestyles with natural remedies to healing the human body physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I was a musical artist long before I began exploring business entrepreneurship. Ever since I was a toddler, I have always had a unique talent for self expression through words and poetry. What sets me apart from others is that although my genre of choice is Hip Hop, I bring a conscious flair and sound to the community. My inspirations are reminiscent to that of other amazing conscious Hip Hop artists, such as Queen Latifah and LL Cool J. I am most proud of my ability to naturally connect with other people. I look forward to my music reaching massive audiences. My goal as a musical Hip Hop artist is to empower, inspire, and to support. What has helped me to get to where I am professionally is perseverance. I am a warrior of life, and despite battling hardships, I have never given up. It was not easy, but anything worth having is never easy. What has helped me to overcome the challenges is keeping my eyes on the prize. I stay focused on my motivations. I have a family that depends on me, and I owe it to myself and to them to keep going. The biggest lesson that I have learned along the way is patience. I am learning about Divine Timing and the importance of being patient while also showing gratitude for where my life is going. I am enjoying the journey. I want the world to know that dreams are real. You can do and be whatever you want. You just have to believe in yourself enough to make your dreams into a reality!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I definitely would want my best friend to experience the best vegan food that Atlanta has to offer. The Halal Guys and Slutty Vegan are my personal favorites. Also, there is no cuisine quite like Carribean food. I would take her to Kemper’s. They have the best curry and jerk chicken. Rosie’s Cafe is also a great spot to eat at. The Vibration ATL is also an amazing place to mingle and to enjoy mixed drinks and company. In my opinion, the most exciting things to check out are events that allow people to safely express their creativity. Also, as an avid sports fan, I enjoy going to sporting events and I would take my best friend to a Braves’ game.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I would like to shoutout my wife and business partner, Janika Williams. She has been a very supportive and pivotal part of my success journey with business entrepreneurship. Janika is also the owner and co founder of Astrologyslore LLC, alongside myself.
