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

Hi Manne, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Honestly, the thought process started as, “Do I really want this?” Then it turned into, “Am I really doing this?” Alot of times I am super excited to work through things but often times I get scared to take the first step until I accept the fact that the reward is greater than my fear. In the moment of fear, I decided, it’s time to overcome what was holding me back. Me.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Well my name is Manne (Man-E) Williams I started this journey since maybe around 2001 and fell in love with the process. Since then, I’ve met some amazing people who have helped guide me along this journey and im still growing, still learning, still loving and being me. I am most proud of myself in being able to overcome my personal life obstacles on this journey. I created my own team and continue to grow. I own a Start-Up media production company called DeCrii where we focus on people and businesses who want to bring their moments to life in still and moving forms like photos and videos. As an Artist this is huge where I can be apart of something that gives back to others for helping me in doing what I enjoy the most. My biggest lessons are learning to be okay with things not happening in the time you want them too. It’s okay, and no need to rush the process because you are being groomed for something greater when you can take a moment and see the progress happening around you. Manne Williams is going to be huge and if you dont stay tuned you will turn right around and miss this ripple that will send waves around the world!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
I’m a foodie and my love of food and wine takes me to places like Pappadeaux for a delicious meal. Tons of fresh seafood and pasta dishes and one of my fav go to spots especially if you’re new to the area or visiting. Take me to spots like Blakes or Bulldogs if you want to party with friends and be around a fun community of people. Im a child-at-heart and love doing things that reflect my inner childhood like amusement parks, movies, and roller skating. I love it all!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Wow this is so amazing, I would like to shoutout my family my mom for being my biggest supporter, and my friends Tracey, Kim, Jai Marie who have always lead me on the perseverance train even when I felt like giving up. Im thankful to my team big shoutout to Anthony and Etido for keeping me pushing as we continue to grow. Being thankful even for the little things is a powerful position to be in, in any part of this journey, cause you realize that you can’t do things by yourself not for too long, nor should you. Create the platform and find the people who will support your vision and make it their own.
