I am Ikeya Williams, Owner and Founder of Red Rubies. I am an African American Women that is a Survivor of Childhood rape and domestic violence. Over 10 years ago I decided to leave the life of crime, gang affiliation, drugs and alcohol and live the life God has attended for me to live. I allowed God to have free range to mold me in the woman I am today. I have always lived my life with the determination that I was not going to let what should have killed me; stop my future. I am a person with a gift of helps to serve whom and wherever I am led to. I have a bachelors from North Carolina Central University; majoring in Sociology and currently pursuing my Master’s in Social Work at North Carolina State University.

I am a member of Sister’s Who Care and Triumphant Life Organization. I am a Certified Life Coach, Licensed and Ordained Evangelist. I am a motivational speaker, group facilitator for teens and adults, individual Counselor and financial planner. I use a faith base approach that will allow the client to believe outside what they have seen or witness in their life. Identify that mustard seed and gain the tools to water it.
