Williams went to work for Kozar Law Office in Elmhurst, Illinois, and started growing his people’s rights advocacy and empowerment group. In 2019, Williams was awarded a patent for one of his inventions.

Rather than shy away from the many tumultuous chapters in his life, Williams uses them as experiences to fuel the fire in his quest for social justice.
