The District Chronicles

Issue date: 10/29/07 Section: Business

Williams admits that her passion for health and wellness education has been somewhat influenced by friends that are vegans and vegetarians. But it was Williams' observation of how well her 89-year-old grandmother took care of herself as a child that really made her understand how much of an impact a person's diet can have on the body over time. She recalls how much water and vegetables her grandmother consumed and has been inspired by her grandmother's recent display of mental and physical strength.

Williams is looking forward to getting the word out about healthy living.  "I am fulfilled by just being able to encourage people to make small changes. I tell my customers that they can have a smoothie with a nutritional boost in lieu of coffee or caffeinated beverages," said Williams.

Another aspect of business ownership that Williams is excited about is being able to give jobs to other people.

Regardless of the hours, Williams is excited about the experience and already looking forward to her next business venture. Her advice to others looking to start a business is to seek advice and do as much research as possible.

Williams' Robeks store is located at 2000 Pennsylvania Avenue NW, Washington, DC near George Washington University. For store hours and additional information, please call (202) 463-3939.
