“It is important to show appreciation to these selfless individuals who have done so much to empower and change the lives of countless others,” said Joy Abiodun, president of Life Changers.

Williams was distinguished as an exceptional woman based on her hard work, diligence and commitment to helping others discover their purpose in life. As a victim of child sexual abuse, she began a movement to break the silence and cycle of child sexual abuse through her nonprofit organization, VOICE Today. Williams is dedicated to providing a voice of healing to survivors of sexual abuse, a voice of protection to children and a voice of prevention to parents and adults.

Along with founding VOICE Today, Williams serves on an advisory board for the Georgia Center for Child Advocacy, writes and facilitates numerous child sexual abuse prevention programs, and facilitates support groups and retreats for adult survivors. She travels internationally, speaking as an expert on child sexual abuse prevention and healing. She authored “From Sorrows To Sapphires,” an autobiography depicting her journey and victorious recovery from abuse. She also co-authored “Pathway To Healing” with award-winning author Carolyn Forchè.

The Women of Influence magazine and Life Changers Club International television show will soon feature Williams and her influential story.
