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

Hi Neffeteria, can you tell us about an impactful book you’ve read and why you liked it or what impact it had on you?
The book that profoundly impacted my life is “The Memo” by Minda Harts. This book served as the catalyst for my journey of self-discovery and healing.

Harts’ insightful exploration of the challenges and opportunities for women of color in the workplace resonated with me deeply, providing me with the tools and perspective needed to navigate my own professional and personal landscapes.

It inspired me to reflect on my experiences and aspirations, empowering me to embrace my identity and strive for fulfillment and success in all areas of my life.

The lessons I learned from “The Memo” have been invaluable, making it not just a book I read, but a transformative experience that shaped the person I am today.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
At the heart of my entrepreneurial journey lies a commitment to enriching the lives of women across generations. Through my ventures—Pretty Girls Poppin, Evolving Impressions, and Evolving Generations Inc.—I am dedicated to cultivating a legacy of empowerment, connection, and transformation for women and girls in every stage of life.

Pretty Girls Poppin stands as a beacon of inspiration for young girls, offering products and programs imbued with empowering affirmations. It’s not just a brand; it’s a movement towards fostering self-worth and confidence from a tender age. I take immense pride in seeing the spark of realization in a young girl’s eyes when she recognizes her own potential and value.

Evolving Impressions takes a deep dive into the sacred mother-daughter relationship, providing tools and experiences designed to strengthen these bonds. In today’s fast-paced world, maintaining meaningful connections can be challenging, but it’s here that we find the beauty of turning complexity into cherished moments.

Evolving Generations Inc. (my nonprofit) is perhaps the most ambitious of my initiatives, seeking to illuminate and nurture the unique relationships between grandmothers, mothers, and daughters. It’s a celebration of heritage, wisdom, and the enduring love that flows through these generational links.

The journey to where I am today has been anything but easy. It demanded resilience, creativity, and an unwavering belief in my mission. Each challenge was an opportunity to learn—about the market, about my audience, and, most importantly, about myself. The most crucial lesson I’ve learned is the power of authenticity and passion. When you genuinely care about your cause and the people you’re serving, it resonates, creating a ripple effect of impact and inspiration.

What I want the world to know about my brand—and, by extension, my story—is that it’s rooted in the profound belief that every woman, regardless of her age or stage in life, possesses an inherent worth that should be celebrated and nurtured. My vision is not just to sell products or services but to spark a generational dialogue that empowers women to embrace their identities, strengthen their bonds, and pass on a legacy of confidence and connectedness.

“Evolving Impressions, Pretty Girls Poppin, and Evolving Generations Inc. are not just businesses; they are my contributions to a world where women of all ages can recognize their value, connect deeply with their lineage, and proudly carry forward their legacies.”

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.
It’s funny you ask because my best friend has had a really tough few years. We have a week already planned to just forget about all the stresses in the world and just exist. Live life with no cares in Miami. A major reset. Not sure if we will do everything on the list but it’s a good game plan lol.

We’d dive into the essence of this vibrant city, blending beach relaxation with cultural explorations and gastronomic delights.

Our journey would begin with a sun-drenched day at South Beach, complemented by a brunch at The Front Porch Cafe and an evening stroll along the iconic Ocean Drive, capped off with a seafood feast at Joe’s Stone Crab.

The artistic soul of Miami beckons us next, with a day dedicated to the colorful murals of Wynwood Walls, immersive art experiences at local galleries, and a taste of Cuban culture at Versailles Restaurant in Little Havana.

Adventure calls on day three with an exhilarating Everglades Airboat Tour, offering a glimpse into Florida’s unique ecosystem and wildlife, followed by a relaxing evening at Bayside Marketplace. We’d then shift gears to Miami’s luxurious side, indulging in upscale dining at Cecconi’s Miami Beach, shopping at Bal Harbour Shops, and possibly dancing the night away at LIV nightclub.

Key Biscayne offers a day of natural beauty and water sports, with kayaking at Crandon Park and dining with a view at Rusty Pelican.

The historical charm of Coconut Grove and Coral Gables would not be missed, from the serene Vizcaya Museum and Gardens to the refreshing Venetian Pool, blending leisure with exploration.

Our final days would meld relaxation with refinement, including a farewell dinner at Smith & Wollensky, ensuring our Miami escapade encompasses the city’s multifaceted allure—from its sun-kissed beaches and lush parks to its dynamic art scenes and pulsating nightlife.

Our intention is to have each moment to be an unforgettable chapter in our friendship’s story and our life.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
Absolutely, diving into the essence of my journey, I must shine a spotlight on the pivotal platforms and remarkable individuals who’ve played a crucial role in my personal and professional evolution.

At the forefront of this acknowledgment is the Jay Shetty Certification School. Enrolling in this school was a transformative decision, allowing me to delve into the depths of my identity, thanks to the invaluable insights and unwavering support from both the staff and my peers. The environment fostered there is one of growth, reflection, and mutual support, setting a foundation for my continual journey of self-discovery.

Equally deserving of recognition is the Woman Evolve community, led by Sarah Jakes Roberts. This platform offered me a sanctuary to explore my spirituality on a profound level, nurturing my soul and forging lasting bonds with other women who share similar paths. The sense of community and collective empowerment I found here has been a beacon of light, guiding me through personal and spiritual growth.

On a more personal note, my journey would not be complete without acknowledging my best friend, Stacey, and my sister, Tramisha. Their love, encouragement, and unwavering support have been my stronghold. Stacey, with her ever-present understanding and empathy, and Tramisha, with her resilience and inspiring strength, have both been instrumental in my growth. Their presence in my life has been a constant source of comfort and motivation, pushing me to explore my limits and beyond.

In essence, these individuals, alongside the Jay Shetty Certification School and Woman Evolve community, are the cornerstones of my journey. They deserve immense credit and recognition for their role in shaping my story, serving as my guides, mentors, and support system through every step of my journey towards personal and spiritual enlightenment.
