S2 Ep219: February 27, 2023, Fit as a Fiddle Plus | with Jacqueline Williams

Jacqueline Williams was born in Brooklyn, New York, grew up in Amityville, Long Island, and attended Long Island University and George Washington University, attaining a B.A. in Psychology and an M.Ed. in Education and Human Development. Now retired from her career, where she worked as a Special Educator and Advocate for children diagnosed with chronic and terminal illnesses at one of the nation’s top pediatric hospitals, Jacqueline has turned her hand to writing. Her debut book, By His Grace, is a memoir of her survival of childhood trauma. It is designed to show readers that they are not alone in their fight and can act as a stimulus for conversations that will encourage others to open up about their experiences and help them heal as a result.Today, Jacqueline lives in South Hill, Virginia, with her sister’s granddaughters, Desirae and Daryl, whom she has adopted. She spends her free time power walking, drinking coffee, eating out, reading, and going to the theater and cinema. She also gives back to her community, having designed and run a free youth empowerment program, Who’s At Risk? for girls ages 10-20 who have experienced family trauma, bullying, and low self-esteem. In the future Jacqueline is keen to travel, both within the United States and internationally, to talk with other survivors and those who are undergoing the healing process. Connect with Jackie: Facebook: Jacqueline Williams, Instagram: Jackiesbiz, Email: [email protected] Connect with Kathy:www.kathybinner.comConnect with Rita:www.ritabrewer.com
