Lorin Mone'e Williams

I am one dope being. I believe women can have it all and be successful, no matter where they come from. I live to love, perform, write, and entertain people with an underlying motive of inspiring them.

I currently home-school my beautiful daughter and operate a performing arts school in Jamaica, Queens called Let Me Rock. I’m working on putting together a summer showcase with my performing arts studio, and I’m planning events for a newfound business venue my husband just renovated. I’m also working on having a full term, healthy baby boy since I’m expecting.

I enjoy every minute of taking care of my family and putting on performances at my dance school. My husband motivates me with his work ethic, and his drive is something unmatched. He makes me want to do more so that I can keep doing better. When we first met, he believed in who I wanted to be and invested all he had to help me get there. He still does.

My daughter and my dreams keep me going. Often times, I can’t sleep at night because I can see so clear of where I want to be and the billion things I want to do. I find strength in God, my mother and my family. I am determined to give them the world like we have never seen it before me. My God speaks to me, gives me visions and keeps me going. Everything he has blessed me with from my beautiful family, impeccable talents, dynamic intelligence, and flawless soul is enough to keep me inspired even when I try to feel otherwise.

I want to be healed from all of the hurt and pain of my past. I want to be the best me I can be; the best mother, wife, and mentor possible. I want to master every talent I know of (producing, writing, acting, singing and dancing) and use it to create and elevate opportunities. I’m going to do everything from movies to talk shows. The best way for me to describe it is the modern day Oprah...just Lorin Monee style.

Change of perspective is an essential part of healing. Remembering where I came from is important and helps me realize the lessons I’ve learned from all the trauma I’ve experienced is what makes me, ME. I’m learning to embrace the good and the bad for what it is and focusing on moving forward by staying spiritual, reading and hearing the word of God. Writing and performing is also therapeutic to my healing. When I recognize bad behavior, I work to change my cycle so I don’t pass it on to my daughter.

I have my BA degree in Media and Communications. At my dance studio Let Me Rock, I teach girls different styles of dance and we put on showcases, all while instilling confidence within them and creating an unbreakable bond. I know I should be doing a lot more to accomplish my dreams, but I stay encouraged about where I am. I’m not where I want to be, but I’m not where I used to be either.

If I could talk to my younger self, I would tell her to follow your dreams and stop chasing money! Even with these little 9-5’s you’re still broke ! FOCUS MAN. Have tunnel vision, don’t be afraid and F*%# what they say. It’s going to be okay. You will get through this, you will be stronger, and heffa, boys aren’t doing anything but distracting you. Focus on YOU. Take the risk baby and GO. Depression get behind thee witcho ugly ass!” And I would be yelling the entire time.

Right now, I’m planning on putting on a play, Renovating my blog, Posting consistent YouTube content and better marketing and branding for my Studio. But most importantly, a bigger, healthier family. I am unstoppable. They say women can’t have a successful marriage, children and career. Good thing I have a wonderful sense of humor because the things people say make me laugh.
