2023 MLK Holiday Parade, It Starts With Me! Cultivating A Beloved Community Mindset To Break The Cycle Of Injustice 


BY JIMMIE WILLIAMS

ORLANDO – First I’d like to thank God and all those that paved the way so that we can celebrate this association “The Life and Legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.” My wife Diann Williams and I, Jimmie Williams would like to also thank the individuals that made it possible for us to be in the 2023 MLK parade hosted by the Orlando Jayees, the Southwest Orlando Junior Chamber. We also like to thank our sponsors: Windom Solutions, Palmer Feed Store and The Central Florida Black Nurses Association for always showing support. As we walk into a new year, let’s keep in mind that giving is always better. So lift someone up, give with no questions, and celebrate your greatest. At this year’s parade I had the pleasure of meeting Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity, Inc. (Gamma Delta Sigma Chapter and Iota Rho Chapter) Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. (Epsilon Epsilon Zeta Chapter, Delta Alpha Mu Zeta Chapter, and Sigma Epsilon Chapter) Mr. Vladimir Cherfrere. I really had too much fun at this year’s 2023 MLK Holiday Parade. We will see you next year. So let it start with me! Don’t Meet Me There, Beat Me There!
