Mecca Williams
“I have the audacity and the gumption to live out loud…and whether you like it or not you’re gonna respect it.”
We had the honor of sitting with Petersburg’s own Mecca Williams — a therapist as her 9-5, but a fashionista 24/7.
She’s hands down one of the flyest people we’ve ever met. The way she pieces together her outfits down to the shoelaces amazes us every single time.
But Mecca is more than her clothes. She’s cordial, yet cerebral. You can’t put her in a box. And her life is a representation of that.
Tune in to find out when her love for fashion began, her thoughts on the new wave of “mental health experts,” how she navigates male-dominated hip-hop spaces, body positivity, and much more!
