At just 18 years old, while her peers were engrossed in typical teenage pursuits, Tamarra embarked on her entrepreneurial journey.

Tamarra Williams, a remarkable entrepreneur and culinary enthusiast, was born in Minnesota and raised in Chicago, Illinois. From an early age, she was influenced by her mother’s wisdom, who encouraged her to embrace solitude as a means of self-discovery. “You have to learn to love your own company and explore who you are and who you want to be when no one else is around,” her mother often reminded her. This guidance helped Tamarra cultivate a self-reliant and introspective nature, especially in the absence of her father.
Early Entrepreneurial Spirit
At just 18 years old, while her peers were engrossed in typical teenage pursuits, Tamarra embarked on her entrepreneurial journey. Introduced to the business world by a childhood friend, she founded a social scene marketing group that aimed to promote a high-society lifestyle among young women. “We quickly became the talk of the town,” she recalls, sharing how her team, consisting of eight women, gained access to some of the city’s hottest events, rubbing shoulders with celebrities and establishing their reputation in upscale venues.

Upon arriving in California, she leveraged her skills and positive energy to work with influential individuals, helping them manage and grow their businesses.
Her typical day was a whirlwind of activity: from 6 AM to 3 PM, she worked at LinkedIn, using her lunch breaks to manage her own business and meet clients. After 3 PM, she dedicated herself to her entrepreneurial pursuits, expanding her client base and honing her business acumen. This chapter of her life not only sharpened her talents but also solidified her commitment to her entrepreneurial dreams.
