Mrs. Williams journey into the world of beauty began modestly. As she prepared for college, her curiosity for makeup evolved into a hobby, practicing on friends and family, with her mother and sisters serving as her first critics. "I started practicing and getting feedback from my mom and sisters," she said. While attending the University of the Virgin Islands on St. Thomas, word of Sativa's skills soon spread, and people began asking her to do their makeup for events.
Upon moving back home, people continued contacting Mrs. Williams and requesting makeup services. Despite trying her hand at various jobs, she eventually realized that her true passion lay in the beauty industry. Mrs. Williams opened a boutique with support from her husband Nasheem Williams, selling lashes and bundles to build up her clientele. Though the boutique has since taken a backseat, it laid the foundation for Touched by Tiva Makeup Studio.
