We all know what it is to be in that moment of transition in out lives. Things may not be going just the way we planned. Perhaps we’re contemplating what our future will look like, or we’re simply looking to make that big change that’s going to catapult us to that next level. Sometimes, making that move ends up being the one very thing that opens up all the doors we’re looking to walk through. Enter Keaira Williams! Born and raised in Shreveport, Louisiana, Keaira always dreamed of being a triple threat in this industry. Developing strong talent as a actress and model throughout the years, so also had a longing to become an author. Although she wouldn’t know until becoming of age, a big part of that plan would include relocating to Houston, Texas. Sure, that’s not where you would expect someone with dreams of entertainment to gravitate to, right? It’s only a testament to the
strength and talent of Keaira. Not only has it proven to be a successful move for her, she’s well on her way to having accomplished her three main career goals, as well as other things. In addition to commanding the modeling scene, and taking on a few small movie and stage roles, she’s become an avid blogger along the way. In our exclusive, you’ll see just why Keaira is bound to be such a big success.
Urban Grandstand: Thank you so much for taking the time out today. We all have a lot going on, and it’s pretty early.
Keaira: It’s no problem. Thank you,
Urban Grandstand: Talk to me about the brand that you’ve been working to build for yourself?
Keaira: Actually, I’m truly working to be an author one day. I’m working on people becoming more familiar with me, being an actress, model, and brand ambassador. I really just want people to become more familiar.
Urban Grandstand: Now interestingly enough, you say you want to be an author. Is that where your blogging ability comes in?
Keaira: Yes, but I’ve also been working on a book for a very long time. I’m just getting familiar with the next steps of getting published, and who I’ll work with.
Urban Grandstand: You’re from Shreveport, and you recently landed in Houston. Usually, with people moving into modeling, you hear more of them moving to New York, and even California. How did you end up where you are?
Keaira: I moved here to Houston when I was 19. I honestly don’t really know. It was just the biggest city that was the closest to me at the time. I don’t regret it. I’ve learned a lot, but if doing it all over, I wouldn’t move to Houston. It was an opportunity for me to get on my feet.
Keaira Williams: Forever Keaira
