Julie Williams' passion and foresight to provide
the tools for underprivileged youth who otherwise would not realize equity in
education, enhanced academic growth and life skills mentors are inspirational.
As
a retired NYPD police veteran and Criminologist holding a Master’s degree and
doctoral candidate in Social and Behavioral Sciences, I can see the logic of
Julie’s vision.
Many
of our youth experience educational disadvantages that Julie recognizes as an
opportunity to make a positive impact with improved quality of life through
education.
As
a change–agent Julie’s passion is to be recognized and applauded by educators,
parents and law enforcement. Teaching our youth to believe in themselves, their
own futures and to have a sense of pride prepares them to lead us in to our
future.

WORD POWER
Julie’s passion for words and correct articulation have been
her driving force since she was a child.
The dictionary and the meaning of words have always
held a fascination for her.
This passion inspired and intrigued her since childhood from
a very young age, which in turn, inspired her to nurture and guide both her toddlers to excel in school. They went on to be gifted students and both of her children are
published authors.
The AWESOME KIDS CLUB Empowerment program, was originally
created by Julie Williams for a charter
school after school care program, located in an underprivileged community, in Atlanta , GA.
The lingering effect of the lessons learned by the students are endless, including job interviewing skills.
It is a known fact that when applying for jobs, applicants are often judged by their ability to communicate effectively. Articulation is often used as a measure of intelligence.

Julie has long recognized the value in words and the power in the ability to articulate expressively and intelligently.
As her mother, also a published author, and former member of
the board of directors of the charter school in which she served, I
wholeheartedly endorse my daughter and the passion she derives from opening the
minds of children who are eager to learn.
Sincerely,
Mary Macauley,
