TheGrio spoke with the dynamic attorney and media personality about what it takes to find your authentic voice and stay motivated in an ever-complicated world.

“I don’t care if you’re an accountant, if you’re a teacher, if you’re a social worker, whatever your profession. This is not just for media types. Don’t let people tell you what to do with your talent or your gifts,” says Williams.

“You show them. Take that affirmative step. Take that proactive position to make sure that you are articulating for yourself where your gifts are and how wide the scope is. Because many of us are limitless in our talents and abilities, and we [can’t] allow other people to dictate and minimize what that looks like.
