A Mile IN my shoes

About Me

Hello my name is Seona (sea-on-a) Williams I am the owner and Creator of A Mile In My Shoes. The story of how my business came about, I have been homeless for 7 months due to a domestic violence situation. I was staying at a shelter in a different city and I was without a job, family, money, clothes and daycare for me and my boys. So I reached out to several emergency services, one service did contact me and said they could help me...I wait 2 months almost 3 before someone even responded to my phone calls and emails just to tell me " Hi seona I just got your messages and I'm sorry to inform you that we are out of funding and I apologies that we forgot about you". A Mile In My Shoes is here to make sure the situation I went through never has to happen to anyone else.
