Jacobie Williams is a former basketball player, entrepreneur, and philanthropist whose life story is a testament to the power of resilience, dedication, and the desire to make a meaningful impact. Born Frankfurt, Germany and raised in Birmingham, Alabama, Jacobie’s journey from the basketball court to the forefront of community empowerment and entrepreneurship is nothing short of inspirational.

After an early career in basketball, where teamwork, discipline, and relentless pursuit of excellence were his daily mantras, Jacobie encountered a turning point that would redefine his path. Moving away from the world of sports, he dove headfirst into the streets, facing challenges that tested his resolve and character. However, Jacobie's indomitable spirit saw him emerge with a renewed purpose: to uplift and empower those around him.

Jacobie founded Everybody WENS, a nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering underserved youth and families, offering them resources, mentorship, and opportunities to excel beyond their circumstances. His passion for creating positive change didn’t stop there. Jacobie ventured into the business world with the launch of The Chill Spot, a Daquiri Bar in Birmingham that doubles as a community hub, and Jesus Is My Mentor, a clothing brand with a powerful message of faith and mentorship.

"My life’s work is a reflection of my journey — from overcoming personal and professional obstacles to building ventures that give back to the community. I believe that with the right mindset, support, and determination, anyone can turn their challenges into stepping stones for success. Through Everybody WENS, The Chill Spot, and my coaching and consulting services, I aim to inspire, empower, and uplift individuals and communities alike. Let’s embark on this journey of transformation together."
