“For me personally, it’s an achievement to be the first African American person to be president at ASPS. It’s an incredible sense of honor, duty, and pride. I’m really standing on the shoulders of people who came before me,” he said in a statement.

One of Williams’ notable contributions is his advocacy for African American patients. He has consistently worked to provide a voice for the Black community in the realm of plastic surgery, aiming to ensure unique needs and concerns are heard and addressed.
