Independent Everything: LIVE with the Ladies of Real Nail Qweenz International

Yani Williams is President & Founder of Real Nails Qweenz International

On her journey she has met several inspirational and influential people that have help direct the current path that she is now on. Her intentions were never to grow her nails to extreme lengths however now they are part of her which makes it very hard to trim or cut them. Growing her nails to an extreme length became a passion and she sought out people that were like minded or shared her passion. She saw Lena Cole on various talk shows, but later met Lena through Herb Lasker, whom was a promoter and himself had a nail fetish. He introduced Yani to many of the Record Holders with long toenails as well as fingernails. This opened up a lot of new avenues for Yani in ways of public appearances.

One of the goals that Yani has set for herself is to have a Reality show that would depict how “normal” women that have long nails truly are. There are so many stereotypes and stigmata even discrimination that is associated with women that have extreme length nails and Yani would like to see those barriers broken. To assist with her endeavor she started a The Real Nails Qweenz Iternational group in February 2015. The members are Lena Cole, Nicole Waters, Lateisha Hargett & Edith Graham. Each and every ladies nails are unique in their own way. The ladies in this group are mothers, wives, entrepreneurs, whom all grow nails to extreme lengths. To have a Reality show will open upa new platform that will help to address discrimination and bullying which are topics that Yani has experienced all to well and are very close to her heart. Yani is looking forward to working and establishing her group and making her mark not only in the entertainment field bul also society in how women with long nails a viewed.
