“It was just a wonderful experience,” Williams told the newspaper.
“I love being a Red Wolf. I love this school, and I’m so happy to be a part of it.”
In an IU East press release, Williams said: “I’ve learned so much. It was always my dream to have a business degree, and I ended up going to art school so many times, but in the back of my head I felt like I needed the tools to be a better leader, to be a better planner, to be better at all of the things I wanted to do in my businesses because I’m so hands-on.
”This should surely help Williams grow her clothing line, EleVen, as well as the various other businesses and partnerships she’s involved in.
The 35-year-old has an associate degree in fashion design from the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale in 2007.
