Queen Esther Spivey

What began in 2014 on YouTube as "QueenSheeMee" Discovering your inner Queen, Who is Shee, Within Mee, a video documentation journey of Queen Esther Spivey's self care & self love journey quickly grew as a community of black men & women learning how to care for their own natural beauty, lifestyle, and wellness as little information was shared during that time period on social media. From demos, reviews, unboxings, and daily vlogs grew the demand for Queen Esther to offer Natural Hair Services, in person, which lead her to return to college for Cosmetology, and eventually the birth of "Touched By Queen Esther" in 2018 as a full service salon in the NW FL (Panhandle) Area.

Anni Elward


Hi, I'm Anni, one of the co-founder's at Villainy Beauty. My journey in the beauty industry began 14 years ago as a freelance makeup artist. I was young and still deciding where I wanted my life to go. My passion sparked permanently whilst I was eight months pregnant with my eldest son, I went to a salon for a small beauty service and was publicly questioned about my weight due to concerns over the salon's furniture. This embarrassing moment, at a time when I was already self-conscious about my appearance, inspired me to create a different kind of beauty experience. One of safety, inclusivity, and being unapologetic in challenging society's "norms" in the industry.

My mission is to ensure that everyone, regardless of size, identity, or background, feels valued, safe and beautiful. I believe that true beauty transcends society's often narrow standards. My co-founder and I started Villainy Beauty to support those who have felt marginalised or judged, helping them set boundaries and feel confident.

For the past 15 years, I have been an integral part of many successful organizations due to my experience and dedication. My coaching and consulting has allowed clients to achieve excellence as well as exceed their goals. It has been a privilege to be associated with such great achievements.

My Human Centered based methods have been proven to be successful, having been applied in a variety of projects with resounding results. My approach is comprehensive, taking into consideration all contributing factors to obtain the desired outcomes for clients that provide real value.

I'm passionate about empowering individuals and systems to identify and tackle the obstacles they face on their journey to success. Building trust within their systems through means of inspection, experimentation, and adaption we revise collaboration, & communication. I'm committed to helping my clients achieve long-term results. My ultimate goal is to support them in C.E.C. so that they can make lasting progress in life.

Collaboration is critical for the success of any solution. Working with a diverse group of people helps produce more effective results, and that's why I always strive to create an atmosphere where such collaboration can take place. By leveraging the skillsets of different individuals, we can develop high-quality solutions in a timely manner.

Experimentation is an invaluable tool in finding suitable solutions. To approach a problem in an effective manner, it's important to look beyond the traditional methods and explore something new. This might include using different techniques or tools to test out potential ideas and uncover the best solution. Experimentation gives us a chance to discover and try something that could potentially be groundbreaking, so it shouldn't be overlooked when dealing with complex problems.

Trust is essential for any team or organization to be successful. This confidence is established through effective communication and how information is shared. It's important to understand the power of these interactions, as they can create a feeling of reliability that allows everyone in the group to collaborate confidently.

The challenge organization’s face today is how to sustainably provide for the needs of growth while simultaneously protecting what has been built. A balanced approach is needed, one that combines sustainability with modern innovations. We must build a foundation for future prosperity that takes into account the needs of the organization, individual and the consumer.
