Remarkable Women: Kat Williams
Community outreach
Williams became involved in the Boys and Girls Club of Henderson County in 2015 and joined its board of directors.
Personal life
Williams is in a same-sex partnership with Patrice Boudreaux and the two live in Asheville, North Carolina as of at least 2012. In March 2016, Williams was scheduled to perform for the third consecutive year at the Catholic Diocese of Charlotte's Catholic Charities Gala for Hope fundraiser. After Bishop Peter Jugis read a 2013 article saying Williams had been married to her same-sex partner for seven years, Williams was contacted by executive director Gerry Carter and told that due to church teachings on homosexuality she would not be allowed to perform. Williams was paid for the scheduled performance regardless. The fundraiser was cancelled due due to public outcry, including refund requests and cancellation of donations.
Medical issues
In 2015 Williams began having health issue that would later be diagnosed as End Stage Renal Disease (stage 5) or better known as kidney failure. Williams is diabetic and it is claimed that the diabetes has been a major factor in her kidney problems. Williams was placed on the kidney donor list by Emory Hospital in Atlanta. Various fundraisers have been held to bring awareness to the disease and to help defray Williams growing medical expenses.
Awards
In 2012 Williams received an Emmy Award nomination for her work on the Hands of Hope project which featured several famous vocalists. The project was headed out by recording artist and producer, David L Cook. She received the 2012 AMG Heritage Award for Female Vocalist of the Year. She won a collaborative AMG Heritage Award for her work on the video for Hands of Hope.
