Whether you're a business owner or an employee or in management, BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPS MATTER.
It's important that we learn how to nourish them and not be afraid to establish them.
Today's guest shares her stories of how she found confidence in building business relationships.
Widely known as “Queen Aftan”, Aftan M Williams is the founder and visionary of Crown Up International, a movement that seeks “to transform the mindset of a girl into the mindset of a queen and the mindset of a boy into the mindset of a king”. She believes that we are all born royalty and therefore it is our responsibility to uphold that legacy. She is a southern girl that hails from New Orleans, Louisiana. Her design is creative, with gifts to host, manage, speak, write, sing, dance, choreograph, act and captivate audiences. As a full-time entrepreneuHER, she has achieved accomplishments in those areas working in various capacities from road manager to talent with major forces. “Queendom” is a seed that has been planted in her when she was a little girl.
In 1990, she became the Queen of “God’s Royal Court” at Greater St. Stephen Full Gospel Baptist Church at just 5 years of age. She even became a national titleholder as U.S. United Ambassador in 2014. Queen Aftan was the first-ever Queen Juneteenth (2017-2018) and went on to win another national title right after that! She has done over 5,000 hours of community service for which she was awarded the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award from President Barack Obama. Clark Atlanta University rendered her two community service awards for leadership and commitment. She graduated from Clark Atlanta University with a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication: Public Relations. She is also a member of Gamma Sigma Sigma National Service Sorority, Inc and Lambda Theta Rho Alpha Synfonette Sorority, Inc.
Her company, Royalist Management, boasts affluential clients and evidence of her constant pursuit of excellence! As a personality, her “Crown Jewels”, "Car CROWNicles" and “Reign Drops” are anticipated tools of motivation on social media. In all of this, Queen Aftan has put God first. She has been honored by her experiences and is grateful to have been chosen all while walking in her pink shoes with a crown pin on the same side as her heart! Connect with Queen on IG @queenaftan.
