Natasha Williams

She has written and published a book, Mind Over Model (2013), most widely available on Amazon.com.

Natashia then gave birth to her second child, Braden. While taking another unofficial break to focus on family, Natashia wrote a book based on her life and career as a fashion model: Mind Over Model, An Internal Journey Through The World Of Externals. It was published and released by Create Space (U.S. Domestic and International) in 2013 Amazon.com and available on Kindle. In 2014, she started an entirely new venture as owner and designer of an artisan crafted jewelry line. Her company called, Gypsy Posh By TOSH, features an eclectic vibe and style sampling "for all fabulous walks of life," available online.

Her voluntary obscurity wouldn't last long. She then returned to film making, starring in the Paramount Pictures psychological thriller, Circle of Eight and then a recurring role on the CW television show Vampire Diaries, playing "Lucy", cousin to the long line of Bennett Witches on the show, making at least two appearances during its 2011-2017 run.

She also co-starred in So Little Time, opposite Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and the Nickelodeon series Romeo! from 2004 to 2006.

Despite its brevity, the show afforded her a wider fan base and new relationships with many local and national charities. In the wake of the tragic Boxing Day Tsunami of 2004, Williams lent her voice alongside an all star lineup of singers and musicians including Brian McKnight, Mýa and Papa Roach to record "Forever in Our Hearts", led by musical group Godhead founder Jason Miller. The proceeds from sales of the single helped raise awareness and aid for the victims of the disaster. That summer Williams also competed in the 'Fox Summer Music Jam,' and beat over a dozen other female celebrities in the beauty/talent contest for a $20,000 donation to the charity of her choice. She chose The Los Angeles Mission. She still works with the organization as a 'red apron' servant; providing holiday meals, while donating supplies and funds to assist local homeless citizens to this day.

In 2004, while Williams was already producing her own music she would go on to sing the national anthem for several sporting events, including her hometown Los Angeles Lakers basketball game as well as the Memphis Grizzlies. She then booked the pilot, Filthy Gorgeous, about the subworld of high-class prostitutes, starring alongside legendary actress and spokesmodel Isabella Rossellini. The pilot was not picked up although the single episode aired on Showtime Networks as a feature film. She then made a cameo appearance, giving Anna Faris an "enlightening motorcycle ride" in the film comedy Smiley Face.

Her time was divided heavily between the East and West Coast as well as internationally, modeling and filming more features and television appearances such as Howard Stern's cult comedy Son of the Beach as well as Smart Guy, 'Malcolm and Eddie', 'The Parkers' 'Girlfriends and the film Two Can Play That Game, appearing alongside Morris Chestnut and Vivica A. Fox. Her first starring role on a series came in 2001, playing Tedi on the show So Little Time alongside the Olsen Twins. She then took a temporary leave from UCLA to film full time. Soon after wrapping production on the then Fox Family series, Williams soon stepped into the role of Shane Phillips, one of three women known as She Spies, also starring Kristen Miller and Natasha Henstridge. The show featured three beautiful ex-cons working for the government with the tag line "Bad Girls Gone Good". It conjured high expectations for NBC, with an experimental filming approach featuring musical vignettes, breaking the fourth wall, all while parodying the entire spy-adventure TV show genre. The project was already purchased for syndication but lasted only two seasons due to sliding ratings.
