Pamela E. Williams was born in 1968 during the height of the Civil Rights Movement in Memphis , Tennessee . Being the second oldest of six children it would be only fitting that she would have a story to tell. Writing was and is a passion for Pam. She kept endless diaries of stories and dreams hidden in her room; a room she shared with siblings who were constantly trying to see what she was always writing. Growing up in the country made for great story telling. Aunts, uncles and cousins then living in Chicago and California would come back to the home house in Memphis where Louis and Mamie Williams, Pam's grandparents raised all their children. Every summer relatives would gather in the dining room of the small two bedroom house, make the children go outside and then tell stories as they listened to an original reel to reel tape of Dr. Martin Luther King's speech "I Have a Dream". Sheltered from the war stories of segregation and the movement, Pam would always sneak back in the house to listen to the stories the grown ups told. Fascinated, she would lay under the table and marvel at what was being said, only to be caught and made to go back outside to play. Never to be deterred, a trait she still happily possesses, Pam would sneak back into the house time and time again, to hear the laughter and stories summer after summer.

Fascinated with stories, Pam would spend every waking moment she could with her head in a book. At bath time, she had a book, when it was time to wash dishes, she rigged a stand to sit in the dish cabinet as she washed and turned pages with wet fingers simultaneously. While cleaning she would have a book in one hand and would be vacuuming the floor with the other. There was never a time Pam didn't have a book or her diary in her hand.

Now Pam's love for books and stories has made way for her to tell her own story. "Life Beyond Size 6" tells of an obsession with diets, weight and trying to become the societal standard of beauty. The message of "I'm ok" becomes vividly apparent as you follow along on the path she has discovered. It is in this book that she shares her discoveries with you.

Residing with her son in Memphis , a city that has grown by leaps and bounds, Pam is committed to empowering women and girls through her written works as well as speaking engagements. Pam works with Students with Disabilities at the University of Memphis . She also volunteers for Metropolitan Inter-Faith Association (MIFA) in her spare time. Her message of self love and acceptance transcends from the physical into the mental and emotional. Pam's passion for people is evident upon meeting her as she shares her story. She is hard at work on her next book, a novel, "To What Extent".
