In this week’s episode of The Light Watkins Show, we delve into the life and career of Bimma Williams, a marketing expert and advocate for creativity who grew up in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Born to parents working in the hazardous environment of a chemical plant, Bimma shares how their experiences and aspirations shaped his own journey towards education and a safer, more fulfilling professional life.
