Real...Raw... Riveting In her series, "Drawing From Your Well," Mitzie takes us on an intimate journey through the pain of disappointment, rejection, and failure. She provides a candid account of the struggles in breaking the generational cycle of poverty and aimlessly wandering without any sense of purpose and accomplishment. Before this, she must come face to face with everything which cemented her core - the God who she depended on but often seemed silent when she most needed Him; an education system which seemed to have failed her in providing 'the keys to success' and a family who has no knowledge of how to assist her. Series 1: The PainIn this book, she says "the pain and disappointment had now overwhelmed me and I thought myself unworthy to..." She is left alone and at times afraid, but remains determined to feel her way through the dark. Despite the mangled ruins of her heart, Mitzie's series takes us through the pain, pursuit and passion towards her God given purpose. She encourages us that despite the events of life, we can dream bigger, dig deeper and reach higher; for there is indeed a reservoir inside each one of us. Come with her on this journey and draw from your well


About the Author A proud national of the great island "Jamaica, Land We Love", the black, green and gold not only run deep within Mitzie’s heart, but define every aspect of her story. These colors of her flag not only reflect the struggle of a young girl’s journey, but her refusal to lose sight of a vision; to remain steadfast in her pursuit; dream bigger amidst impossibilities, dig deeper and reach higher. The second of nine children, the ever consuming determination to break the cycle of poverty, inadequacy and seemingly unreachable goals, have consumed her entire life’s journey. She knows all too well that the struggle to find your own space in life is very real, but so is The God who drives her everyday passion to go for that "gold" He promises. Despite the fulfillment in one of the most rewarding professions, she has never lost sight of the one thing which truly consumes her daily. A social activist at heart, she is intolerant of "merely going along with the flow" but continues to use her voice to bring attention to unfair, unjust or exploitative behavior; much to her detriment at times. To those who know her well, the words candid, passionate but caring and selfless have been apt descriptions. Mitzie has been a high school teacher of Language Arts and History in Jamaica and The Bahamas for over fifteen years. She has Bachelor Degrees in Sociology and International Relations (University of the West Indies, Jamaica); Masters in International Management Studies (University of Buckingham; UK); Graduate Diploma in Law and is poised to continue the Bar Professional Training Course, September 2018 (Nottingham Law School, UK). Her Christian journey began at the tender age of 10 at Barbary Hall Assemblies of God, St. Elizabeth, Jamaica. She currently worships at Central Zion Baptist Church, Freeport, Grand Bahama, with her husband Dr. Timothy Williams and two children Judaea Elizabeth and Joshua Emmanuel.
