Background

About Eshontee Williams

I am a purpose-driven youth advocate, consultant, and national speaker with 8.5 years of advocacy experience and 6.5 years of lived experience in the foster care system. My mission is clear: to elevate the voices of system-impacted youth and drive meaningful change in child well-being, community engagement, and policy reform. Through roles with organizations like GA Empowerment, the Amerigroup Youth Advisory Board, and Foster Youth in Action’s People Agenda Team, I’ve led youth-driven initiatives, advised on statewide strategies, and contributed to national movements that empower young people navigating adversity. As a lived experience leader, I offer more than a story—I offer solutions. I specialize in: • Youth program design and facilitation • Strategic consulting for non-profits and agencies • Keynote speaking and training focused on resilience, systems reform, and youth empowerment In 2023, I was honored to be selected as a Jim Casey Young Fellow, joining a national network of changemakers shaping the future of foster care. Whether I’m consulting on youth engagement strategy or standing on a stage speaking life into an audience, I bring authenticity, expertise, and a heart to serve. Let’s connect if you’re ready to collaborate on youth-centered impact.
