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

Hi Akia, can you share a quote or affirmation with us?
If you are not willing to learn no one can help you. If you are determined to learn, no one can stop you.

To me this means your willingness to succeed is all in your hands and if you have the right determination you can do anything.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
Woojavi is a movement so what sets us apart from other social media platforms is that fact that we want to laugh with you, cry with you, and support you with everything in between. We not only want to hear about the good things on your mind but what’s going on when you are hurt or angry or what recipe you want to try out next. We are most proud of the fact that we did this on our own. We don’t have the million dollar contracts, it’s just a small black owned social media platform and it was not easy. We have had a lot of set backs and technological learning curves along the way but we are still hear and can only get better. We have new features in the works and we just want people to get on the app and support the movement. Our community wants to invest in your health and well being by being there for you through your life’s journey.

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.
If my friend was coming to visit, the first place I would take them is downtown to see the sites and learn about the Windy City. We can take a boat tour and then get something to eat at any of the cool restaurants downtown and then see the city and take in the views from one of the sky scrappers. After that we can find a nice spot to sit back and listen to o some music or go dancing.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to shoutout my parents who have always played an instrumental role in my success. They have always supported me in all my endeavors and encouraged me to be the best me that I can be.
