Whether it was writing poetry or organizing in her community, Nakhia
Williams was an active and vocal member of her hometown of Louisville
KY. Williams, known as Nikki to her friends, proudly attended the 2005
Transsistahs-Transbrothas Conference where she met with other transgender people of African descent. Through her friendly attitude and genuine love of people, Williams touched many lives. On August 20th, a few days shy of her 30th birthday, however, Williams was brutally murdered by a number of men outside her Louisville, KY apartment.
