For over three decades, Sonia Williams-Lewis has been on a mission of re-imagining equity and humanity, intending to reclaim all of the things lost and denied to the Black community by way of laws, policies, and cultural norms that intentionally and unintentionally perpetuate white supremacy, racism, and implicit biases. Her professional career has prompted efforts to address the issue of racialized norms, as a matter of curating a safe and brave space to have courageous conversations about race and belonging whilst normalizing an anti-racist, humanity-driven future. As the Founder/CEO of ASCRIBE Educational Consulting, LLC and EDIFIY Humanity 501c3, our work is rooted in challenging the norm and fostering a growth mindset where everyone matters and wins.

Sonia Williams-Lewis is a former high school/secondary educator, with degrees in History and Psychology from Spelman College, as well as a Master's Degree in Education and Secondary Teaching credential from San Francisco State University. Building the legacy of ASCRIBE and EDIFY prioritizes the marrying of equity and social justice, with an emphasis on how socio-economic factors impact family dynamics, community stratification, and the marginalized outcomes of vulnerable groups. If we focus on the margins of the margins, the result is our whole society reaping benefits that really matter. It's the development of our whole selves coupled with the development of our whole community that fosters a willingness to address all of our needs and not the deficit of what we can't accomplish together. It was after giving birth to 6 beautiful Black boys, that Sonia realized her lived experiences offer a unique perspective on tackling the problems associated with equity, belonging, and humanity, like but not limited to denied medical resources, lack of access to educational resources, unwarranted touches with the criminal justice system based on racialized norms and policies, and inner-communal violence. Said lived experiences, also known as "adverse childhood experiences" (ACEs) have not only led to a reliance on the resource-richness and resolve of the Black community but also how the Black community contributes to the whole of who we are as a society. Let's imagine together, a future where the next generation won't need to deal with or heal from racialized trauma....PERIOD.
