Heart and a Heat Press

Deonjala Williams
Founder
Deonjala Williams is the founder of Heart and a Heat Press, an online business educational platform. With more than 12 years of entrepreneurial and retail experience, Deonjala teaches her community how to launch their own profitable T-shirt printing business in 60 days or less.

Deonjala, known more commonly as “Dee,” has had years of corporate employment in retail where she gained significant experience in business, processes, and employee management. But this didn’t really satisfy her sense of calling, her love of teaching, and the drive to build something lasting. Unbeknownst to her boss at the time, she had been planning her exit from the “9 to 5” for some time when she handed in her resignation letter with great satisfaction. She went on to found Dee’s Sweet Tees and develop Heart and a Heat Press, changing her and thousands of other people’s lives in the process.
