Who We Are

Ikeya Williams

Survivor & Life Coach

Meet

I am Ikeya Williams, Owner and Founder of Red Rubies. I am an African American female and a survivor of childhood sexual assault and domestic violence. I decided over 10 years ago to leave the life of crime, gang affiliation, drugs and alcohol to live the life that GOD intended for me. I surrendered to GOD so HE can mold me into the woman I am today. Determination prevented me from letting what should have killed me; stop me.

My GOD given gift allows me to serve whomever and wherever I am led. With over 20 years of demonstrated experience in the field of mental health, substance abuse, intensive in-home therapy, crisis and assessments, victims of domestic violence, and sexual assault.
