Christopher E. Williams

Co-Founder

West Coast born and raised, Christopher is a Black-queer liberationist, family historian, and strategist based in Atlanta, GA.

With nearly 10 years of experience in research, marketing, consulting, and Agile project management, Christopher’s work focuses on strategically aligning talents, resources, ideas, and lived experiences of people with the categorical needs of various projects and programs—ranging from branding to app development while placing Black-queer people at the forefront of these efforts.

Christopher’s genealogical research focuses on their ancestral homes of New Orleans and Bayou Teche, Louisiana as well as Hermitage, Tennessee. This research has revealed a long-set culture of innate African-inspired family structures that prioritize community, communal building, and shared resources.

“It’s important to shift the generational wealth conversation away from being strictly about an amount of money. It should be about generational wealth, within a community.”

Currently, Christopher serves on the Board of Advisors for Beyond Trenches, formerly The Black Inmate Commissary Fund (BICF), a Black women and queer led mutual-aid organization focused on providing resources to those most affected by the carceral system in the American south. They have provided historical context, political literature, social strategy, and an overall dedication to the BICF cause, truly understanding the importance of marginalized group cooperation within anti-Black systems.

Christopher is a graduate of Morehouse College, obtaining a degree in English Language, Literature, and Literary Theory. Continuing their family’s tradition of attending historically Black colleges and universities, Christopher became very active in the queer organizations within the Atlanta University Center, and in turn, inspired more involvement within the vibrant and historical activist community of Atlanta.
