Adrianna Willis | Black Figures Ep. 3

Episode 3 of Black Figures brings forward a story of reinvention and calm power with Adrianna Willis. After nearly 27 years in the corporate world, Adrianna pivoted in 2024, leaving behind the pressure and burnout to fully dedicate herself to a mission that has always been close to her heart. She’s the Founder & CEO of Mind the Crown, a brand she started in 2020 that champions self-care, mental wellness, and boundary-setting, especially for Black and Brown women. During our conversation, Adrianna shares how the weight of decades of expectations pushed her to reclaim joy and authenticity. We dig into what it means to whisper “no,” to redesign boundaries, and to care for oneself without guilt, lessons she learned the hard way. We also explore the growth of Mind the Crown from its product line and community events to its full‐time commitment and upcoming coaching services. This episode is for anyone looking to embrace transformation, prioritize rest, and lead with purpose. If you’ve ever felt burnt out, disconnected, or unsure about your next step, Adrianna’s story will resonate deeply.
