JT Williams

LGBTQIA+ Regional Engagement Coordinator, South

JT Williams, also known as "German Chocolate," was born in Hieldberg, Germany, then moved to America in the early 90s. JT grew up in the church resulting in developing people and compassion skills. This led to his passion for helping people from all walks of life.

As an East Carolina University graduate, he has worked in the Health Education and Promotion field for over fifteen years, ten years in HIV and STI services, and the Human Health and Services field for the past 20 years. This resulted in the title "Health Advocate for Improved Quality of Health for All."

JT aims to enrich the quality of life for all communities and beyond through his creative and charismatic personality with his vast array of networks, resources, and community relations. The impact he is leaving is on a global scale.

JT joined The PRIDEnet team in 2022 as the LGBTQIA+ Regional Engagement Coordinator of the South. He focuses on producing and partnering with states in his regions to build rapport, support, and exposure to the work under the PRIDEnet umbrella. His work and German Chocolate charm have helped expand from the South to include regions in the North. His territories range from New York, Texas, The DMV, Florida, and everything in between. Call Him, Beep Him, if you want to reach Him! Impact and Representation are the name of the game, and he plays to win.
