Hi! I'm Mariana "Mari" McWilliams, founder of Mari's Gold LLC. I started my business with one simple dream to prove that kids can make a big difference.
Today, Mari's Gold has grown into more than a business. Through events, books, speaking, and youth programs, I help inspire young people to dream big, build confidence, and become leaders.
My mission is simple: help kids discover their potential and turn their dreams into reality.
Follow Mari's Journey
At 12, I had a simple idea: start my own business. With family support and a willingness to try, Mari's Gold LLC was born.
Today, Mari's Gold is about more than business. It's about writing books, speaking at schools, building Mari's Gold Academy, and showing kids everywhere that they are never too young to dream big, lead boldly, and make a difference.
Every big dream starts with one decision. Today could be yours.

dREAM BIG
Every child has a dream worth chasing. No dream is too big when you're willing to work hard and believe in yourself
Lead with kindness
True leaders encourage others, show respect, and make people feel valued. Kindness is one of the greatest strengths you can have.
Learn by Doing
You don't have to wait until you're older to start. Every project, mistake, and challenge is a chance to learn and grow.
Give Back
Success means more when you use it to help others. I believe in serving my community and inspiring the next generation to do the same.
"It is more blessed to give than to receive"
Acts 20:35
What started as one idea has grown into opportunities that inspire children, support families, and strengthen our community. Every book, event, snow cone, and conversation is another chance to encourage kids to dream bigger, believe in themselves, and discover they can make a difference today not someday.
Every child has a dream waiting to be discovered.
At Mari's Gold, we believe confidence grows when children are encouraged, equipped, and given opportunities to lead. That's why we create experiences that inspire kids to dream boldly, serve their communities, and believe they can make a difference today not someday.
Through books, speaking, youth programs, entrepreneurship, and community events, we're building a generation of confident leaders, creative thinkers, and compassionate changemakers one dream at a time.
