Our Leadership

Marcía Williams

Founder and Director — Broadcast Your Love

Marcia Williams founded Broadcast Your Love because she knew firsthandthat the difference between a young person who gets the opportunityand one who doesn’t often comes down to a single skill —and that skill is almost never taught.

Through her career in communications and public relations,she saw firsthand the gap between what workplaces expectand how prepared young adults are —especially when it comes to communication.

A graduate of the University of Texas at Austin’s Moody Collegeof Communication, Marcía built her career helping organizationsfind their voice and connect meaningfully with their communities.

BYL is her answer to that gap.
