Meet The Founders + Chief Executive Directors


Welcome! My name is Marissa Williamson from Cape Girardeau, Missouri-the rest will come to you. I am a compassionate soul and tenacious spirit.  My passion is youth development in any setting. I’m one of two Chief Executive, Directors/Owners/Founders of the  501 (c) (3) non-profit organization known as MoXie Way Incorporated with my best friend of 25 years. Check her out below. 


I graduated with a Bachelors in Sociology and Social Work at the University of Arkansas. I am currently the Mindfulness & Wellness teacher at Grizzlies Prep Academy- a school made for boys. I am a mother, so I understand the importance of knowing that my child is in good hands when I’m not around . I also understand “it takes a village”. With MoXie Way we are apart the youth we serve villages in the 901 community.  We love what we do and appreciate the love and support we receive for the work we do.

My name is Whitney M. Watson. I am one of two Chief Executive Directors of the 501(c)3 nonprofit organization MoXie Way, Incorporated. First, I want to state, I am authentically me. Although I am a mother, daughter, sister, friend, educator, and a lifelong learner, I am unapologetically Whitney Marie first. I am determined and full of courage. I love without end and genuinely care to the highest level. I am goofy, yet sincere, and intellectually attuned to the world around me.
