L. Joy Williams doesn't rest much. Running on four hours' sleep each night, she dons an array of hats during the day, moving at a breakneck pace to empower more Americans to engage with the political process. I'm grateful she made time to drop by "Strong Reception" to talk with me about increasing voting access in New York, as well as to provide her own inspiring definition of civic engagement.
On her podcast, "Sunday Civics," L. Joy Williams hopes to make everyday civics exciting to listeners who think their elected officials aren't interested in them. She does so by offering up simple, powerful action steps busy people can take to make their voices heard in the halls of power, and by hosting eye-opening discussions of Black political history in America.
In addition to her leadership as president of the Brooklyn NAACP, L. Joy also heads her own campaign strategy firm, LJW Strategies, and has planned campaigns for political luminaries including Stacey Abrams, Cynthia Nixon and Jumaane Williams. She also serves as chair of the Higher Heights Political Action Committee, an organization working to get more progressive Black women elected to local, state and federal office, and which helped raise the profile of Vice President Kamala Harris during her 2020 presidential run.
