About Phyllis G. Williams

A bookworm by nature, Phyllis has read many books so far, and she believes each of them has helped shape her worldview and overall perspective. Her love of literature infused in her a flair for writing. She authored a national best seller – “Thee Art of Me: 30 Strategies for Discovering Your Self-Worth!” The book was praised for its uniqueness by both critics and readers in general. Her second book, ‘Thee Art of Me: 30 Coloring Pages to Practice Self-Care.” is equally acclaimed due for its aesthetics and uniqueness. Her love for writing isn’t limited to books but also includes publications such as Good Housekeeping, Toastmasters International Magazine, Washington Informer, and more.
