The musician compared 19M to a project he is pitching with award-winning architect David Adjaye in the city of Norfolk, Va. Dubbed Wellness Circle, the $1.1 billion urban revitalization development would include public spaces, mixed-income housing and commercial spaces, a nonprofit private school, as well as a state-of-the-art arena.“I was raised in a housing project,” he said. “Oftentimes, we’re looked down upon, and the odds are pretty much stacked against us.
Hinting at future projects in the pipeline, Williams said Chanel was committed to increasing diversity in its ranks. The brand hired Fiona Pargeter as head of diversity and inclusion in 2019. He added that his relationship with the brand has progressively evolved into a partnership. “We’ve been mutually supportive of each other, and I have to say, it’s beautiful to see the color, so much color, being injected into the brand,” Williams said. “Now, you’re really feeling the effort to be inclusive of human beings.”
