Williams says in a comment that he hopes to deepen the sense of unity and togetherness in his work and even out the odds for marginalized groups. He also mentioned his poor background.

When I grew up in Virginia, I never believed in my wildest dreams that I would get such an opportunity.

Williams was appointed in February 2023 as creative director for the French luxury fashion brand Louis Vuitton's menswear. He is now joining a group of goodwill ambassadors that includes American jazz musician Herbie Hancock, Brazilian artist Vik Muniz, Italian actress Claudia Cardinale, Japanese filmmaker Naomi Kawase, and South Korean K-pop group Seventeen.
