Kimberly Williams, Breast Cancer survivor & SGK Advocate "Circle of Promise"

Williams was a 29-year-old manager for a multi-billion-dollar company when she was diagnosed with Stage II breast cancer in the Fall of 2009. Her treatment consisted of a bilateral mastectomy and chemotherapy. In 2013, Kimberly had a recurrence in the same side of her breast as in 2009. She underwent another round of chemotherapy and, for the first time, underwent radiation therapy. Today, as a seven-year breast cancer survivor, her focus has shifted to raising awareness and educating young women about breast cancer through her personal journey as a survivor. She is also a Susan G. Komen Circle of Promise Ambassador, a group designed to engage African American women to help end breast cancer by fostering awareness, support, empowerment and action. She encourages all to treasure their chest.
