On This Episode of The Beautiful Butterfly Radio Show We Welcome The Lovely Andrene Williams, as we discuss Fashion, Passion, Defying The Odds,Being a Plus Size Diva and MORE!!!
Meet Our Guest: Andrene Williams was born in Jamaica, West Indies and raised in Queens, N.Y. With her innate
personality and abilities to care for others, she began her career in Health Care. As her service to the
community, in 2009, Ms. Williams founded and is the CEO of a non-profit youth organization called
Ladydoves Self Enrichment Youth Organization. In this organization she helps build self-esteem and
empowers young ladies in her community to reach their full potential as well as encourages self-love
and awareness.
Ms. Williams also had a passion for the world of fashion and beauty. Especially, being a plus sized
woman wanting to see more representation of the plus world on runways and in magazines, Ms.
Williams became a Plus-Size Model herself. Right away she saw how poorly models were treated
and plus models even more. Being who she naturally is, she used her experience as a model to
inspire, uplift and empower women to have confidence and self appreciation. She also began to seek
positions behind the scenes where she knew she could begin and truly make a difference in the way
plus models and all size models should be treated and represented.
In 2012, Ms. Williams created Unique Blend Models (UBM,) where she is the CEO and Model
Coordinator. This group was created to empower models of all shapes, colors, sizes and enhance
self-esteem while promoting that we are unique and when we come together, we blend beautifully.
Of course, it doesn't stop there. In 2013, she became the Director of the Plus-Size Model Division of
Fashion Avenue News Magazine, an International, Luxury Style Fashion Magazine.
