Brenda Williams Empowers Girls with ‘Worthy and Wonderful: A Celebration of Girls Who Matter’
What a breath of fresh air! And a blast from the past.
I met Brenda Williams at the Flemington Book Festival on Memorial Day and it turns out we both worked at Sesame Street (Children’s Television Workshop at the time) in the early-mid 1990s. Wow! what a great energy, and so very needed in these times of conformity, diminishment and, yes, mediocrity. Girls need to be reminded now more than ever that they matter, they’re beautiful, and they can accomplish their dreams.
A children’s book that celebrates confidence, self love, and the bright potential inside every girl.
This uplifting book follows four young friends who remind each other of their worth and inspire children to speak kindly to themselves, explore their dreams, and grow with courage. Filled with heart and intention, Worthy and Wonderful invites families to create moments of connection and confidence building that last far beyond the final page.
Brenda Williams is a writer, speaker, and advocate devoted to empowering young girls to see their beauty, believe in their dreams, and know they matter. Through her Worthy & Wonderful series, she celebrates the brilliance, strength, and limitless potential of Black and brown girls everywhere. Worthy & Wonderful: A Celebration of Girls Who Matter is the first book in this inspiring series.
Brenda is also the President & CEO of BW Empowerment LLC, a leadership and empowerment company that partners with executives and emerging leaders to unlock new possibilities, lead with purpose, and create lasting impact. Her work reflects the same mission as her books, helping people rise with courage, clarity, and confidence.
Inspired by her four granddaughters, Kaehla, Demi, Dala, and Dior, Brenda writes to spark confidence, kindness, and pride in every reader. When she’s not writing, she enjoys spending time with family, listening to music, and spreading light, love, and hope wherever she goes.
