A lifelong leader and storyteller, Anjie Williams-Brown recently retired from Tennessee State University after 22 years of service as Business Coordinator.

A graduate of both the University of Alabama at Birmingham and Tennessee State University, Anjie is an advocate for empowerment through education, communication, and creative expression. Her debut poetry collection, Pieces of Anjie: Poetry from My Soul, was self-published in December 2022 and marks the beginning of her journey to share more inspirational writing through various mediums.
