​

Spice Girlz Mentoring Inc. Founder and Executive Director, Tonya Williams was born and raised in Nashville, TN. She is a mother, grandmother, mentor and wife who is exceedingly enthusiastic, motivated, and passionate about empowering and uplifting women and youth. Tonya has been a youth advocate since 1989, and has dedicated her time volunteering, mentoring, and participating in events supporting the youth within her community and church. With a drive to serve others, she was determined to build a positive, drama free, girl-friendly network to expose young ladies to a different standard of the female outlook, which she felt was lacking today. A victim of bullying herself by peers in middle-school, Tonya, now uses her past to speak out against bullying, drama, jealousy, and bitterness and empowers young ladies to be the best version of themselves avoiding all those things.

 

 Tonya founded the nonprofit organization Spice Girlz Mentoring Inc. in 2014. This program offers young ladies the chance to build self-confidence and learn their true value and worth. This program was designed to allow every young lady to know that you can transform any situation the moment you enter that space. She often will say “you are the main ingredient to spice up any room.” 

 

Tonya attended Tennessee State University where she studied early childhood development. As an entrepreneur, wife, mother, and grandmother, Tonya’s mission is to live out her purpose and accomplish excellence in all areas of life while encouraging others to do the same. She is dedicated and with integrity she is committed to empowering our next generation to become the change they want to see and become.
