In Minnesota, many families and communities are living through profound fear and uncertainty as daily life feels increasingly fragile. In moments like this, community is not an abstract idea. It is something we practice. And it is often where God’s grace is felt most strongly.
It was an honor to join @UN Under‑Secretary‑General Guy Ryder in conversation last week. Together, we explored how leaders can make sense of our chaotic world and guide their organizations and communities toward greater resilience and hope. lnkd.in/eMbs6XW4
As I move through #2026, my word for the year is grace.
Grace for myself as I continue becoming who I am meant to be in this season of life.
Grace for others, too. Because none of us are walking simple paths.
What is your word for 2026?

We don’t leave our humanity at the door—we bring our whole selves to the office.
#Leadership requires recognizing that reality, honoring it, and building cultures that are safe and grounded in care.

On this #MLKDay let us remember that the goal remains the same: to keep it moving. The goal isn’t to be perfect; it’s to be persistent. To persist with compassion. To refuse to stop caring for one another. Because the only way forward is together.
The American Dream only lives on if every person can pursue it. During my keynote at the National #ALICESummit, I explained that service is more than a feel-good gesture. Let's recommit to fanning the flame of service and opportunity in every community.
There is power in being unapologetically yourself. In being bold and brave enough to step into your leading role, even when it feels like the world is telling you “no” or “not yet.”

In a new Q&A, Williams discusses the challenges she faced and her decision to fulfill a family promise by caring for her mother.

2025 brought its fair share of challenges, but together we turned those challenges into opportunities to lift each other up and strengthen our communities.
Thank you for standing with @UnitedWay, and with each other. Here’s to building on this momentum in the #newyear.
As we welcome the promise of a #newyear, let’s remember: when we unite, we can and will build a world where every person feels like they belong and can reach their potential.
Here’s to continuing this momentum in a new season of service. Happy #2026!
We have each been blessed so that we can be a blessing.
My husband, Rod, and I wish you and your loved ones the happiest holidays!
May this season be filled with joy, peace, and love.
For too long, we’ve tried to solve complex social challenges in silos and wondered why progress feels slow. In this @Forbes Business Council piece, I explore why place-based community impact offers a more effective path forward. Read more: forbes.com/councils/forbesbu…

Life’s challenges don’t happen in isolation. Health, housing, caregiving, and income are deeply connected, and one unexpected crisis can push families to the edge.
A recent USA TODAY story highlights this reality. At United Way, we focus on financial security, access to health care, and community-based support so families can get help early and build stability.

At United Way, trust is at the heart of everything we do. 💙
That’s why we’re honored to be recognized by @Forbes as one of the Top 5 charities.
Thank you to our donors, partners, volunteers, and local United Ways who make this work possible every day.

Honored to join nonprofit leaders at @OperationHOPE's Hope Global Forum to discuss future-proofing philanthropy & responsible #AI adoption.
My advice: Don’t rely solely on AI—rely on people. Tech should support humanity, not replace it.
