KAYLA WILLIAMS

My name is Kayla Williams, I am a multiple award winning business woman who lives in The Cotswolds, England. I am mother to six wonderful children ages 22, 14, 12, 9, and twins that are 7. There is nothing that I am more proud of than being a mother to my children!

I have studied business since age of 14 and have a passion for helping others to follow their dreams. I own an Accountancy & Business Service Business for over 12 years as well as being involved with property as a property agent for buying and selling of property, I also have interests in Education, Jewellery as well as Modelling.

I have helped many people to set up, run and maintain their business as well as passing on my positive attitude to them to keep them believing that all things are possible, as a result, people often look to me for advice on any matter.

My expertise spans across a wide array of industries and sectors as I deliberately chose not to specialise in one particular industry, as this allows me to grow and pass on knowledge, while staying abreast with current affairs.

I am passionate about education and used to teach business studies to Key stage 4 and 5 and have sat on the panel for school appeals in my local area. I have an education business whereby the ethos is each one teach one as I have seen the education system from many angles: From being a Student to Graduate, to doing the Financial Accounts for a University, to teaching, to sitting on admission panels and therefore know how important it is to help others to understand it.

The knowledge I acquired throughout these encounters helps me to equip others, especially ethnic minorities, in helping them to understand the education system and providing advice on matters that they lack understanding on.

I own a jewellery collection called Love Thy Self whereby the inspiration behind it is that I was wearing other brands but I wanted to wear my own. Me being me, knowing all things are possible, I decided to design my own collection, I designed something that has a universal message to the world, that is relatable to all…..young, old and irrespective of sex or race. It is so important to love yourself unconditionally, in a world where we are often taught to look outside of ourselves first. My jewellery has entered into competitions namely Goldsmith Awards and the most recent Chronic Jewellery competition and is hoped to be stores very soon.

When I was younger I used to want to be a model, and was often discouraged to follow that dream and encouraged to become something different. After having kids I decided to revisit this teenage dream of mine. I entered into Miss Commonwealth Beauty Pageantry and became a finalist in 2021.

This then inspired me to seek more opportunities, I then got selected to walk in the Queen's platinum Jubilee representing Notting Hill! This was a remarkable experience and something that I can show future generations as my son and I got creative and made my costume which was photographed internationally and watched by people in their millions globally.

I recently did a cameo appearance in a gospel music video called prayers, this was a great opportunity to be part of something close to my heart. I pray a lot and I know that all that I have achieved wouldn’t have been possible without prayers.

When I am not doing any of the above, I am doing my hobbies which are travelling, horse riding, and learning languages. I love interior design so I am often going to nice places that spark my imagination. I am absolute foodie, and an adventurer who love acquiring knowledge.

My goal is inspire others to follow their dream and do what makes them happy and it is an honour and a privilege to be able to nominated for such a prestigious award.
