Meet Aaliyah Williams…the newest addition to Mission’s Playroom team!

Aaliyah has been a Mission member for a long while. She came to us through our dear one, former instructor, Danasia.

Originally from Tupelo, Aaliyah graduated from Mississippi State with a degree in Broadcast Journalism. After a career in development fundraising for Auburn she used her experience and entrepreneurial gifts as a springboard for her own venture, a women’s clothing boutique that she operated for 6 years.

Aaliyah and her husband Tre’ fell in love while he was playing football for the Auburn Tigers. His expertise on the field led him to coaching football teams all over the southeast. They’ve lived in Mississippi, Birmingham, Florida, Arkansas and his current role as Outside Linebackers Coach for South Alabama brought them to Mobile.

They have 2 little ones, a 3-year old boy and 3-month old girl.

For Aaliyah and her family, football is literally life.

When she found Mission, it was the community she knew she needed outside of game days and playbooks.

“When I first walked into the doors at Mission I hadn’t worked out in years. I felt embarrassed and intimidated. Then, in my first class, I saw women of different ages, ethnic backgrounds and fitness levels. I loved the feeling of inclusivity. I felt the intention of it. And I knew it’s where I belonged.”

Welcome to the Mission team, Aaliyah. We love you and your tiny crew so very much. Thanks for sharing her with us Tre’
and Go Jags!

It was a treat to have Mobile United’s Connect Mobile Class visit Mission!

We were the first stop on a downtown tour visiting local businesses including 🍺 the Outsider with Matt LeMond and the 🛍️ Urban Emporium

This bright, shiny group of young entrepreneurs and career-seekers took time to learn directly from local business owners, ask pertinent questions and got an inside peek of what business ownership and community stewardship looks like IRL.

We were honored to be part of their experience.

Kudos to Mission member and Mobile United ED Christienne Gibson for pouring into the future of Mobile. 👏👏👏
