Michael Williams was born and raised in Chattanooga, Tennessee in Woodmore. She is a 30-year-old single mother to a baby boy named Alex. She played basketball at Chattanooga Christian School, where she and her siblings were the only black students at the time. After moving away for college at MTSU, she now lives in Brainerd and sells insurance at State Farm.

Michael Williams was born and raised in Chattanooga, Tennessee in Soddy Daisy. He got drafted into the military after high school, and spent many years working for the Chattanooga Police Department. After taking a few years off, he is now the Police Chief on Signal Mountain. He recently finished building a house with his wife, just a few miles from where he grew up.

Michael Williams was born and raised in Chattanooga, Tennessee off historic 9th Street. Because he saw few opportunities in Chattanooga for an African American man at the time, he joined the military and lived all over Europe for more than 20 years. He moved back to Chattanooga in 2012 to participate in a veteran college program started by the Obama Administration. He is the girl's basketball coach at Chattanooga State Community College, and volunteers with youth basketball programs.
