Candace Williams

Volunteer, Grand/Mother, former addict and felon… Candace Williams shares how she turned her life around. She also shares the hurdles facing people in her same situation. In this episode, Sheila and Ericka speak with Candace Williams, a Volunteer with Because It's Personal, Inc. While working and living at the YWCA, I implemented several programs. One was My Sister's Closet. It was created and used to dress the women in business attire for job interviews. All the clothing came through donations from the community. The second program I started, was the Monthly Meet and Greet. Once a month we met to introduce new residents and to check in on some of the long care residents. During my time there I realized that it can be uncomfortable to meet new people and also you can slip into a depression or be going through something and not know how to reach out for help. The third and final program I started, was Movie/ Game Night. One night, every two weeks, we all played cards or watched a movie in a family type setting.
