November 13, 2023 - Omkari Williams

The idea of being an “activist” can feel incredibly daunting. Since not a single person can ~save the world~ even if activism is their full-time job, it doesn't take much to start feeling that creeping sense of “Why bother?”. Omkari Williams is here to tell you why we should still bother— and how we can think of activism in a way that actually fits into our lives for the long haul.

This week, we are asking the important questions about 2024. Like, what plant will we fall in love with? And what body part will be in style? Those are some of the ponderings included in a recent story on next year's trends in T: The New York Times Style Magazine. We put the co-hosts of ‘Fanti,' Tre'vell Anderson and Jarrett Hill, to the test. They are also the co-authors of ‘Historically Black Phrases.' Tre'vell's recent book is titled ‘We See Each Other.' Then, Omkari Williams tells us about her new book ‘Micro Activism: How You Can Make a Difference in the World Without a Bullhorn.' In it, she argues that everyone can be an activist and that working on a small scale can create lasting change. ]]>

Lisa is joined by Omkari L. Williams who has worked as a political consultant and life coach for 30 years, with an emphasis on supporting activists who identify as introverted or highly sensitive. As a queer Black woman, she shares her own story of challenging injustice to empower others in making a difference in their communities. She leads workshops and trainings and is host of the popular podcast, Stepping into Truth, where she interviews people doing activism in their own unique ways. To help people identify their own way of activism she created the Activist Archetype Quiz ©. Williams was born and raised in Manhattan and now lives in western Massachusetts.Omkari joins Lisa to talk abuot her book, MICRO ACTIVISM: How You Can Make A Difference In The World Without A Bullhorn From “craftivism” to literacy programs and information sharing, In the new book - MICRO ACTIVISM, author and activism coach – OMKARI WILLIAMS helps readers find the kind of social justice engagement that feels empowering and sustainable to them.

In a world that seems to go to crisis to crisis--whether political, or racial or environmental--everyone has a role to play. But when you feel compelled to stand up for what you care about, how do you do it? How do you focus? And how do you sustain yourself and keep going? Our guest is Omkari Williams, a political consultant and life coach for 30 years, with an emphasis on supporting activists who identify as introverted or highly sensitive. Her book is: MICRO ACTIVISM: How You Can Make A Difference In The World Without A Bullhorn.

Omkari Williams went from a career as an actor to political campaigns and fundraising to activism. She walks us through this transition and what was the turning point that guided her into activism. Her work with her clients and in her training is to help people find sustainable ways to contribute to society and make a difference. We all matter and we all have a role to play. She encourages people to do what they do in small increments and to do it consistently ... to take responsibility to make the contributions that only you can make. We talked about intergenerational work and empowering older adults to share wisdom. We talked about the racial divide, how we got here and jpw we are starting to recognize that we all have a responsiblity to address the issues today. Episode Takeaways/Dreams: 1. That every well-meaning person on the planet is involved in some form of activism everyday. 2. We are a society that function best when working for the health and well-being of everyone.

On this special feed drop episode of the Choose Your Struggle Podcast, Jay plays a story from the podcast Abortion, With Love Titled To My Strength followed by a conversation between Omkari Williams and Renee Brown Sherman on Ms. Williams' podcast Stepping Intro Truth. Ms. Williams is a storyteller who teaches women how to use their stories to make a change. Ms. Brown Sherman is the Founder and Executive Director of We Testify, an organization dedicated to the leadership and representation of people who have abortions, increasing the spectrum of abortion storytellers in the public sphere, and shifting the way the media understands the context and complexity of accessing abortion care. After Monday night's leak, Jay didn't feel comfortable putting out the episode intended for this week. This moment is too big; too important. We have to be honest with what's happening in this country. This ruling will simply be the latest attack on everyone who isn't white, rich, and male in this country perpetrated by the Republican Party and allowed by the ineptitude and/or willful ignorance of the Democratic Party. Our system is broken and we're seeing real consequences. Jay and his wife Lauren attended a march Tuesday night in their city of Philadelphia that was sponsored by the organization behind the series of Women's Marches, and the Socialist Party. The march called for numerous outcomes including protecting the riot of abortion for all and the formation of a new party that accurately represents those the Democrats pretend to represent. If you or someone you love needs more info on an abortion, please visit your local Planned Parenthood.

Omkari Williams is an activist, artist, fundraising professional and storytelling creative who emerged from a family lineage and heritage  of African and Afro-American leaders in the fields of education, law, humanitarianism and activism across both sides of the Atlantic.  Her first incarnation in this life was a New York stage actress whose audiences weren’t broadway stages but regional hospitals and special populations with disabilities. Her next major career move was as to transform herself into a high powered Washington political fundraiser where she learned how the most powerful need powerful stories and lots of funding to get reelected. Disillusioned with the over emphasis on money machine in Washington she moved on to mentor grassroots activists across the globe on communicating their unique story as a strategy for building their own movements. Today Omkari Williams is an acclaimed storytelling coach, mentor, speaker and podcaster.   Omkari is a sought after speaker internationally on issues related to social, economic and racial justice, gender equality, womens issues, abortion rights, feminism, self healthcare and spiritual fulfillment.   She is the newest member of the Gente Unida Board. For Omkari, “Being an activist means that you are someone who takes consistent action, whether in front of the scenes or way behind the scenes, to advance a cause that you are passionate about. For me the size of the action isn’t the point, what matters is that you are regularly taking action to make a difference. That’s my definition of activism.” The two major influences of Omkari’s life was her father’s influential legacy as a powerful Black Humanitarian Activist and on being a black woman herself in the context of life in the US and what that means in terms of being a Black woman and having to work twice as hard to achieve anything close to professional status and the challenges of inclusion at all levels of society. For over the 30 years Omkari has been helping others tell their stories through her role as community actor, then political fundraiser, and grassroots activist, mentor and host of the podcast, “Stepping Into Truth”: “Knowing that I’m really good at leveraging story to advance social justice causes has led me to take actions such as organizing abortion speak-outs, advocating for those without the ability to speak for themselves, e.g., children and undocumented people, and to teach others how to do the same.” website: https://www.omkariwilliams.com/ (https://www.omkariwilliams.com/) Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/omkari_williams/ (https://www.instagram.com/omkari_williams/) Twitter: https://twitter.com/omkari_williams (https://twitter.com/omkari_willia) Subscribe to our podcast at BuenHombre.org or ManificentMujer.org, on AppleItunes, TuneIn, Stitcher and on Youtube at Buen Hombre Magnificent Mujer.

Can one voice create change? One story? What about 10 or 100 together? Omkari Williams joins me today for a conversation on the power of our individual and collective stories to change policy and change peoples view of us and the world. There is a power in telling your story, a power in reclaiming your voice, a power in living your right to be seen and heard. Omkari Williams is a speaker, writer and certified creativity and life coach. Her passion is teaching women to use their stories as a tool in changing social policy. Omkari says, “Our stories are bridges between us and others and can be immensely powerful in creating societal change. Yet women’s stories have been neglected. When we learn how to leverage our collective stories we can create meaningful change and help bring justice to the world.” She loves gathering stories from people she meets and inspiring them to take action. She also loves traveling to foreign countries and visiting as many churches, museums, and holy places as she can find. Her writing has been featured online by Elephant Journal, My Empowered World, Women For One, and Tattooed Buddha and in print by Savannah Magazine and Paprika Southern.
