CÉLINE SEMAAN: First of all, congratulations on your new store, Sweet Like JAM.
MECCA JAMES-WILLIAMS: Thank you! I have had to alchemize a lot to get to where I am now… I have had to transmute a lot of dark moments, uncertainty, fear, and grief, and lots of unknown energy that was festering around me this year. Somehow, I alchemized it… and now we have a store at Skylark. We've gotten the press that makes the machine keep going. We've gotten notoriety in the ways that I've prayed for, so I can continue to grow a company in a different way than the industry I've grown up in. I definitely want to celebrate that.
CÉLINE: How has it been for you to evolve from an idea to the execution of that idea?
