Angela Latoya Williams, born and raised in Riviera Beach, Florida, grew up as the youngest of ten siblings. She has three children, six grandchildren and worked for the Palm Beach County school board for several years.

In 2003, Angela’s life changed when her nephew, Torrey Manuel, was killed by a senseless act of violence. Having grieved with her family and watched her sister suffer the loss of a precious son; Angela decided to do something positive. She wanted not only to assist other families suffering from tragedy, but to help prevent these tragedies from occurring in the first place.

Through strength, determination, and a desire to make change, MAMA was born. MAMA, short for Mothers Against Murderers Association.
