Anita “Razor Sharp” Williams is a woman of faith who has written a book that is an absolute “must read!” As she shares with the world, the amazing evolution of her life and dedication to the Buffalo community, I am proud to know and support her. The extraordinary journey described in this profile of God’s grace and mercy, shows how Sister Anita has flourished in so many aspects of life, defied odds, and overcame fears.
Her remarkable event, the original Taking it to the Streets international festive, held every year in the Martin Luther King Jr. Park, is an amazing community engagement experience, that again
demonstrates her love, commitment, and faith in God and His work for her.

Dr. Anita O. Williams has poured her whole body and soul into this literary art-piece, which is a true example of the type of person and woman of God she is.
She fearlessly exposes her suffering and hard times, baring her soul and not only revealing the good, but the bad, and the ugly she has endured as well. From a child growing up through her young adult years, her life story is sure to encourage others who may have experienced the same heartbreak. Through her remarkable life, she shows that by the grace of God, your past does not determine your future, define who you are, or shape your outcome! Through it all, she never lost her faith but instead, became an object lesson in what it means not just to overcome, but to be an OVERCOMER! We never know what someone is going through or has gone through until we walk a mile in their shoes.
This book offers us all that mile in Anita’s shoes and takes us on the journey of all she had to press through and endure as a young girl and woman. As you read through her memoir, it is guaranteed to bless you in some way.

Dearest Grandmother, I am so proud of you for putting your life into words in such a vulnerable manner and allowing the world to see your heart from the inside out. One thing people can never question is your heart and your intentions, and I think with this book you have been able to show people who you really are. It has been my honor to sit at your feet and soak up all of your knowledge. Thank you for being you and never wavering in your spirit and in your faith. You have been the perfect embodiment of a strong woman of God, and I will carry that with me for all the days of my life.
One final observation, in your book you stated that you had the best grandmother in the world, but I have to take issue with that statement because I find it slightly inaccurate. I’ve looked up to you for as far as my memory reaches back and can truly say that I have the best grandmother in the world. Thank you for being my inspiration in both my professional career and on my spiritual journey.

My commitment to community drew me to Anita O. Williams and the original “Taking it to the Streets” ministry. I saw an opportunity to help a very special nonprofit bring its mission and vision to life in this community by handling the marketing and creating a document that captured Anita’s commitment as she followed God’s plan. Consequently, I have volunteered my services for years and still do, to this day. As you travel through the often-gripping pages of this breathtaking work of heartfelt art, you will find yourself renewed in the deepest sense of the word, as you’re brought face-to-face with the meaning of suffering, hard work, and the blessed reward for loyalty and faithfulness.

My encounter with this book has given me hope that there is light at the end of the tunnel. This book has shown me that no matter what you’re going through now, there’s still hope for you! Dr. Prophetess, Anita Ozella Williams is a great inspiration and a blessing to me, my family, and ministry. Her lifestyle, her love for God, and her patience have been a source of encouragement to us all.
Her yearly program, “Taking it to the Streets,” has been a blessing to many people in the “States” and across the globe. I therefore recommend this great book to those who are confused about life and facing difficulties those who think all hope is lost. Get this book and read it; your life shall never be the same again.

Pastor/Prophetess Anita O. Williams certainly serves as a wonderful example to us all. This pastor, evangelist, broad- caster, event planner, and now author, has paved ways and opened doors for many throughout our community by meeting them where they are in their lives. This book will take you on a rollercoaster ride of stories where you will see a single mother overcome tragedy, disappointment, bru- tality, discrimination, and more, to become a successful, celebrated woman of God in Buffalo, New York, who never gave up and gives of herself through Jesus Christ every day of her life. Anita’s relationship with the Lord gave her the strength to beat a thousand storms.
I initially got acquainted with Anita in 1996 at our Totally Gospel Network studios in Buffalo, NY. She was so determined to become a radio announcer. It was her enthusiasm and determination to learn that prompted me to open the door for the opportunity. And please don’t mess with her beloved Takin` it to the Streets…
Yet, over the past 25-plus years, she has risen above her challenges, learned from her mistakes, and built upon her blessings. I celebrate you on this new endeavor, Anita Williams, and pray that this book will serve as a model and guide many to stay on their path and refuse to accept limitations.
