If you looked in the dictionary for the definition of the word excellence, a picture of Terrie Williams would be there. Terrie is a stellar entrepreneur, mental health advocate and awesome author. The opening chapter of the amazing success story of Terrie Williams was first written back in 1988 when Terrie launched her public relations and communications agency. The company would become one of the country’s most successful public relations firms—handling through the years the biggest names in entertainment, sports, business, and politics. Clients included Miles Davis, Eddie Murphy, Johnnie L. Cochran, Essence Communications Partners, Time Warner, HBO and dozens of other notable personalities and corporations. Terrie is a clinical social worker by training who became a successful public relations pro by her own design. Over the years she has also inscribed her prominence as an author of the successful business and inspirational story, and she has emerged as a passionate advocate for youth and those who battle depression. Terrie’s current work, a book entitled Black Pain: It Just Looks Like We’re Not Hurting, will be published by Scribner in January 2008 and will tell the untold story of depression among African-Americans as well as Terrie’s tale of her own chronic and crippling depression—a revealing narrative she shared in the June 2005 issue of ESSENCE magazine.
