Sundiata WilliamsonMy name is Sundiata Williamson, and I’m a proud manager at PupStars. I've been with the PupStars family since late 2018, and I have always loved and respected all kinds of animals.
My own dog Xinny is seven years old as of 2022, and she’s the first dog I’ve had the chance to call a family member, and it has absolutely been the best decision I’ve made. A fun fact about her is that she has a minimum of seven different veggies in her bowl every day, along with supplements and a different kind of meat every week! Caring for her has been an experience I’ll never forget, and one I look forward to continuing.
A little more about me…I was born and raised on the South Side of Chicago, my favorite movie is Interstellar, my favorite TV show is Avatar the Last Airbender, and my favorite animals are dogs!
