The UMAC’s September Artist of the Month is model

Tyesha Williams!

Tyesha Williams fell in love with fashion and style at the age of six when she received a life sized Barbie doll, which she used to create different hairstyles and outfits. At the age of 14, she became an apprentice hair stylist and two years later, Tyesha was accepted into Suitland High School Technical Academy where she earned a cosmetology license in 2011. In 2016, Tyesha graduated from Virginia State University (VSU) with a degree in mass communication and business. While a student at VSU, she served as reigning queen of the Kerojo Modeling Agency. Tyesha has sponsored numerous modeling camps in an effort to help our youth build and enhance their self-esteem. Her accomplishments include, but are not limited to, being a wonderful wife and mother, a hairstylist, photographer, videographer, producer, director and entrepreneur. She is most proud of her love of God and being a Christian. Do you know of an Upper Marlboro area artist you would like to see featured? Email the Arts Council at UMArtsCouncil@UpperMarlboroMD.gov
