A licensed clinical social worker by training, Terrie Williams launched the public relations firm, The Terrie Williams Agency, in 1988. The company quickly became one of the most successful PR firms in America. She has also created the Stay Strong Foundation, which reaches out to anyone of any age suffering from mental illness. Terrie has a BA from Brandeis University and a master's degree in social work from Columbia University. In her book, BLACK PAIN: It Just Looks Like We're Not Hurting, and now in her lectures, Terrie identifies emotional pain -- which uniquely and profoundly affects the Black experience -- as the root of why so many lash outward or inward through desperate acts of crime and violence, drug and/or alcohol abuse, eating disorders, workaholism, shopping, gambling and sex. Few realize that these destructive acts are uncontrollable symptoms of inner sorrow.
