About Me

Macy Williams is the owner operator of Yeah You Right Mobile Barista, and has been a dedicated service industry professional for more than 15 years.

She is also known in her capacity as an events coordinator at Smoot's Grocery and VIP aide to musicians, traveling professionals, and celebrities during the earliest efforts to revitalize the Entertainment District in downtown Natchez.

"An accepting person. A person you meet and think to yourself 'why are they being so nice to me' afterwards. A welcoming person who helps you to find comfort in where you are, rather it be a new place for the first time or a familiar place. Someone who balances out all of the common negative energy with an overwhelming positive one!"

Taylor N., service industry professional

Magnolia Grill, 100 Main, others

"Driven. Very driven. Heck, when we met, you were getting around on a bicycle and doing side hussles to get by. But through dedication, hard work, and perseverance you've made a much better life for yourself and I honestly couldn't be prouder to call you a friend."

Rachel Doese, barista

Starbucks

"If I had to be brief I would simply say that you are one of the most beautiful and underrated humans of all time. 

I genuinely count myself incredibly lucky to have wandered into a casual conversation with you when we were kids because it would have been so damn easy to have missed you entirely.. After all, you always were so understated when I first met you- so modest and unassuming.. not quite invisible, but just perfectly camouflaged as some normal whoever.

 

But you’re really not normal at all, you know, because you’re just not made of the regular kind of stuff most folks are. You’re an incredibly rare combination of so many of the best things anyone would wish to be— you have super intelligence without super arrogance, true depth without pretentiousness, absolute devotion without  absolute obsession, incredible talent without any need for incredible attention.. so open, loving and compassionate, so understanding, and so damn generously giving of yourself.

I didn’t earn the privilege of what is truly an unfathomable bond, but I will love and cherish you for always and forever."

Victoria Bennett, artist and photographer

Lifelong close friend

"A kind soul who showed me empathy during the darkest time of my life by the smallest gesture and the biggest hug. Another life reminder that you never know how much the little things you do impact others in such a big way. I will never forget how kind you were to me after my Dad died. You were always kind and funny and real but during that time you showed me a deeper side of you. 🙏🏻❤️ Wishing you all the best and happiness. You deserve it!"

Lauren Winston Callon, Amazing Human
