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

Hi Salina, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor in the success of my brand has been to be Salina, when I tried to emulate other creators or do what appeared to be trending it didn’t work for me. When I realized that I was lucky that people were coming over to “Salina Sincerely” for the fashion they stayed for Salina and I am truly grateful. What I’ve discovered is that being authentic will take you a long way.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I worked in mental health for 23 years and after dedicating my life to someone else’s purpose I took the leap to pursue my love. Working in mental health has taught me so much about the human experience and I am continuing to use the skills I learned as I pursue my passion.

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 tell them to see all the wonderful holiday spirit, from ice skating at Rockefeller center to Macy’s holiday light display. The holiday windows and winter village at Bryant Park. New York City can be a winter wonderland. If you want to have the ultimate skyline view of Manhattan The Top of the Rock is a must. Since NYC is a melting pot you must try all the restaurants you can fit in! From Brooklyn Chophouse on 47th, right near Timesquare to Artisan Coffee Bar or Panna II, there is so much to see and do!

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
I want to shoutout my children Ashleigh, Mark and Nicholas. They have helped me become the woman I am, have given me immense joy, lifted me up during one of the darkest points in my life and I am forever grateful.
