kelly williams – dear mama…

Kelly Williams has had a plethora of life experiences. Professionally, she’s been a television news reporter, an author and a Century 21 SGR realtor. But her proudest achievement wasn’t tied to her exceptional résumé, it was an unexpected blessing she received 21 years ago – she became a mom. Putting her career on hold to take care of her young son, Williams lived on both coasts and many points in between, dealing with the challenges of being a single mother. It is those experiences that inspired Williams to found the helpful and informative SingleMamahood.com to provide insight and support for single mothers like her. 
“[The site was] founded a little over a year ago,” Williams explains. “Single moms often feel like they’re alone and that no one else is dealing with the kind of issues they’re dealing with.” The Web site reminds single moms that they’re not alone. “They can ask questions without revealing who they are, and I give them advice.” Williams authored the book Single Mamahood and honored single mothers with a tea party and awards ceremony in December 2007. 
“I love giving advice and helping our communities,” says Williams. “I believe the only way we’re going to be able to save the next generation of our children is for all of us to reach out and help one another.” Her son, Winston, is now a Morehouse student studying in Ecuador, and Williams’ life is a testament to her strength. “This is my ministry. I think we’re all blessed in different ways and I think going through what I went through as a single mom . was what I was meant to do. I feel blessed.” – todd williams
