Elandria Williams

Elandria Williams was a fierce organizer, popular educator, and spiritual and community leader. E’s life and work spanned so many arenas and roles. Most recently, E was executive director of PeoplesHub, a co-moderator of the Unitarian Universalist Association, and spent 11 years working at the Highlander Research and Education Center. Elandria was a firm believer in the power of communities to govern themselves and the importance of our relationships over projects. E’s life’s work was an embodiment of those beliefs—from mentoring youth leaders to being a voice for disability justice, from supporting progressive campaigns to working on projects like Beautiful Solutions. Elandria lived in Knoxville, Tennessee and was the daughter of Elnora and Ervin Williams, twin of Frederick, devoted aunt to Shawn, Nia, and Nevin, and beloved friend, teacher, and comrade to countless others.
