"Amani;", is a collection of poems that emphasize the complexities of living in two worlds, and the weight carried by individuals trying to navigate societal pressures and expectations. The author questions the concept of beauty and societal acceptance, particularly focusing on the experiences of Black Women. Williams expresses the importance of embracing oneself and challenging stereotypes, highlighting the strength and beauty found within her heritage. This debut poetry collection " Amani;" , has been described as "an honest voice! From the music of its language, to how it incorporates elements of song, the Bible, and of everyday life into a mosaic--one of those wonderful works of art that from up close you can see the great individual bits of it, but you can't quite make out the message until you back far enough away from it to read it. When you back up from "Amani;" it spells out "LOVE". A hard-earned love for self. A hard-earned love for all of us as we struggle and so often fail to live together well. It's not a simple love either, but one that demands our attention and respect."
