From the article:
Williams is queen for the Golden Eagles Mardi Gras Indians, and she's known for her exquisite, singular beadwork style.
She can be spotted in the music video for New Orleans musician Jon Batiste's "Freedom" and in his live performance at the Grammys.
And, in 2020, New Orleans director Edward Buckles featured her in a short doc for Teen Vogue.
Mardi Gras Indians, also known as Black Masking Indians, practice a centuries-old tradition in New Orleans with deep roots in the community.
The tradition's origins are a little murky, with some saying it honors the Indigenous tribes that offered safety to Black people upon their escape from enslavement.
Members of tribes across New Orleans spend all year sewing beautiful, custom suits, which they unveil at Mardi Gras as they sing and explore the city, showing off how pretty they are.
