Truth & Redemption With Billy Williams & Shelbi Walker

from Thriving Adoptees - Let's Thrive · host Billy Wiliams, Simon Benn, Shelbi Walker

Too Black to be White, and too White to be Black. Billy Williams was raised in Los Angeles, California in a loving home. His Teamster father and stay-at-home mother did their best to give Billy the charmed life that every child dreams about. Karate classes taught by Chuck Norris, designer clothes, and access to the upper echelon of Black society, Billy seemed to have it all. But, sometimes, what you see, is a cover for more sinister secrets that lay just below the surface. Follow Billy as he explores his childhood, teen years, and his triumphant quest to discover who he is and where he comes from. His journey is filled with lies, secrets, drugs, sex, abandonment, and ultimately, redemption.https://www.amazon.com/kindle-dbs/entity/author/B09L6R63Q2https://www.amazon.co.uk/SOLD-Story-Rev-Billy-Williams/dp/B09KNCZNYWShelbi is the Founder and CEO of GRAITH Foundation.  With over 20 years as a professional genealogist and family history researcher, she has reunited, researched, and solved over 1500 cases for adult adoptees in search of their birth families and birth families is search of the children they placed.  Shelbi has been called upon to speak and conduct seminars for hundreds of organizations.  For three seasons Shelbi was a researcher for TLC's Long Lost Family, and is currently the co-host for The Triad, a podcast dedicated to providing a forum for all members in the triad of adoption.  Shelbi is the heart and soul of the GRAITH Foundation family.  She attended Fisk University and holds a Bachelor of Arts from SUNY, a Master of Science from California State University, Dominguez Hills, and Juris Doctorate from Trinity Law School.   She is a member of the Links, Incorporated and Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated.  She is a child of God and she and her husband Byron are the parents of three beautiful daughters, Kesha, Bethany, and Olivia.https://www.graithfoundation.org/https://www.facebook.com/graithfoundationhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFsHOfiQcmSR2Yfvykhy_yghttps://www.instagram.com/graithfoundation/ Guests and the host are not (unless mentioned) licensed pscyho-therapists and speak from their own opinion only.
