We exist to empower individuals feeling stuck and overwhelmed by teaching them a problem-solving mindset, enabling them to overcome challenges and achieve their true potential.
My name is Tarik Williams, and I am the creator of the We Are Vision of Hope Lifestyle and Mindset Coaching. My mother is from Trinidad and Tobago, and my father is from the inner city of central New Jersey. Growing up, I knew I had to work hard to achieve everything, just like my parents did. Like most young children, I dreamed of becoming the next star of the NBA. However, all that changed when I became blind at the age of sixteen due to a genetic disorder called Lebers Hereditary Optical Neuropathy.
During that time, I faced multiple stressors that compounded my ability to deal with my new diagnosis. It was a personal struggle, and I felt like a disappointment to those who had sacrificed for my future. This period was my first encounter with true burnout and a lack of direction.
To overcome these challenges, I started expressing myself through poetry and music, which helped me understand who I truly was and transform into the person I was meant to be. I realized I couldn't let my setbacks define me. Instead, I rose to the challenge. Through perseverance and determination, I found new ways to play basketball and earned a spot on my high school team. This resilience led me to join the debate team, the marching band, and even travel to China as a student ambassador.
I pursued an undergraduate degree in English with a minor in education, staying active in various communities and volunteering with different groups on campus. Each chapter of my life brought new challenges, pushing me to continually self-reflect and grow. Recognizing that I wasn't living up to my full potential, I sought further blindness training and personal development, eventually earning a Master's degree in Counseling and Guidance with certifications in Rehabilitation Teaching for the Blind and Orientation and Mobility.
Through these experiences, I developed a deep understanding of what it feels like to be stuck in a negative mindset amidst multiple setbacks. This personal journey shapes my approach to coaching, where I empower professionals facing burnout and aimlessness to transform their minds and lives. I provide one-on-one coaching tailored to each client's needs, offering the tools necessary to build a resilient mindset and achieve a fulfilling life.
Did you know that the way you think can literally affect your outcomes in life? Do not underestimate the power and ability of your mindset.

It's about achieving anything and overcoming any obstacle.
To achieve your goals and dreams, your personal health needs to be a priority. Health brings everything together. The We Are Vision of Hope community promotes investing in yourself, ensuring your mental and physical health are priorities.
