Because of Sean’s commitment to uplifting fathers, The Dad Gang has been widely recognized by Oprah Winfrey, Steve Harvey, and Will Smith. The organization has led partnerships with Dove Men Care and Walmart giving out $50,000 to fathers in need who were impacted by COVID through his not-for-profit Random Acts of Dadness. For his kindness, Sean received the NAACP Unsung Hero Award this year for leading the Black DadsMatter march in response to the murder of George Floyd. Sean Williams: So The Dad Gang came about from an underhanded compliment I received a few years back. When I had my second child, she was a baby at the time. An older white woman just stopped me to compliment me by saying, oh, so good to see you stuck around to be an active dad. So, at that moment, I was offended, but it was a teachable moment because many Black dads like myself are not inactive.That's been a false narrative that has been perpetuated all these years. For me a light bulb went off and I needed to create something that can change that stereotype, because me and all my friends were very active fathers. So the Dadgang was created to be a platform to circulate those positive images, videos, and our experiences as active Black dads. And the idea was, hopefully, if we circulate as many images as possible then the narrative will start to change. For(bes) The Culture: What are you guys doing specifically to combat the stereotypes around Black Fatherhood? Sean Williams: We don't do anything except be...

American professional basketball player Sean Williams represents his country. The New Jersey Nets selected the player with the 17th overall choice in the 2007 NBA Draft. Since then, Sean has continued to play basketball. Early Life and Family On September 13, 1986, Sean Williams was born in Houston, Texas to his father Ronald Williams, and mother Audrey Garrett. The player’s siblings are Myles Garrett and Brea Garrett as well. Sean was brought up by his mother Audrey and stepfather Lawrence Garrett in Arlington, Texas. His family is made up of half-siblings. But Sean didn’t get to see his biological father too often. Roland, his biological father, lived in Houston, Texas. Williams’ family was content despite the fact that he and his father had split up when he was a little child. The mother of the player should be commended for going above and beyond to provide him with a fresh, appropriate, and practical family setting. High School Days Sean Williams wasn’t a highly sought-after recruit when he graduated from high school, but he chose BC over Texas. Williams excelled academically and athletically. On the SATs, he scored 1280 in his junior year of high school (out of 1600). Williams averaged 16 points, 10 rebounds, and six blocks per game to lead Mansfield High School in scoring. Despite his accomplishments, Sean did not start paying for team basketball until he was 15 years old. During his senior year, he was honored as the top newcomer in the district.

(WJHL photo) Read Less Evans miraculously survived a five-story fall from a window at Williams’s downtown Johnson City apartment in the wee hours of Sept. 19, 2020. The investigation into that incident sparked a chain of events that resulted in Williams’s indictment on federal weapons charges in April 2021, his flight from justice in May 2021, and a lawsuit by a former federal attorney last year. Evans is known as “Jane Doe 1” in that suit. Kateri “Kat” Dahl worked as an assistant U.S. attorney in an agreement with Johnson City, where she helped JCPD take serious drug and weapons violations federal. Her suit claims that Johnson City police stonewalled her as she pressed them to investigate multiple claims that Williams w...

It’s one thing to constantly be discovering new music. But it’s an entirely different thing discovering new music that really connects with you. The latter was the case with Sean Williams’ nostalgia-soaked ambient album, “Oceans Inside Us.” I was contacted by Tamarin Gerriety, founder, director and producer of “He is huge in the international ambient music scene, but because of the genre it is not something that he performs live so many people outside of the genre haven’t heard of him,” Tamarin writes, piquing my interest. Williams answers the phone with the friendliest Durban boytjie accent, appreciative of our interest in his story, and it doesn’t take two seconds before I realize what a genuinely nice guy he is. By day, Williams works as a sound engineer at He plays guitar, piano, mandolin, and a bit of drums, so we take things back to where it all started, “I picked up guitar in ‘98 when I was house-sitting this house. I literally remember the day I walked in and in the corner of the room there was a little nylon string guitar… I picked it up and I think the first song I learned was “Lucky Man”, literally three chords, and that was me, man. I was like, ‘ Ya I’m ready’”. Opting for homeschooling from Grade 10 through Matric allowed him a lot of time to hone his musical chops, “I literally did my school work and then played music for the rest of the day, literally every day. I was probably playing about six to eight hours a day so that’s my education.” He was introduced ...
