I Had To Change: The Story Of Jermaine J. Williams

Jermaine J. Williams is a man on a mission to inspire and advocate for the issues that plague the Black Community. As a community activist, hailing from Pensacola, FL, Williams has built quite a rapport among the political arena with his uncanny ability to speak out for those in his community by coordinating campaigns, rallies, and more. Although he has had many accomplishments along his journey, Jermaine knows firsthand how quickly one can rise and fall.

After overcoming a 13 year battle with substance abuse, God has delivered him from desiring drugs and alcohol. He has been sober for five years and is now on a new path.

In his new documentary, “I Had To Change”, we find him tired, broken and on the verge of suicide- no longer able to keep his battle a secret. He must now rely on the strength of God, family and ultimately himself in an effort to regain everything he lost. Some people desire to change, but Jermaine? HAD to change!
