Black entrepreneurs: Hard work pays off no matter where MAYA LORA, The Ledger FacebookTwitterEmail LAKELAND, Fla. (AP) Shaquilla Williams is really good at one thing: multi-tasking. Williams, 42, worked with large events when she was stationed in the Navy in Oklahoma. When she returned to Lakeland, she craved the same kind of work. “When I came back home, I just decided to do my own business in event planning. And that’s what I did,” Williams said. And thus her first baby was born: Larger Than Life Event Planning, Custom Designs and Treats, a successful event-planning business. Six years later, she’s finally landed a brick-and-mortar location after storing all of her supplies in a warehouse and meeting clients at their venues rather than in her own personal space. And the location is just a few storefronts down from her brand new venture, Dior Beauty and Esthetic Lounge, on East Edgewood Drive in Lakeland.
