"The biggest problem in society now and in the future is racism, because people are not understanding each level of what racism is." -Cassandra Williams

Shaq O'Neal

At an event they coordinated, Shaquille Rashaun "Shaq" O'Neal, an American former professional basketball player who is a sports analyst on the television program Inside the NBA on TNT, was the Chairperson of the event. He is widely considered one of the greatest players in National Basketball Association history, and Cassandra felt it was one of their most successful events. She also helped a famous young lady change her image from the reality show persona to who she really is - and she's one of the top rated persons in reality TV today. She talks about her unique approach to being a publicist. Nan and Cassandra talk about racism and her dreams for the future.

Cassandra is a self-described "South Central Girl" who tells about her experience in managing properties and then becoming a relocation specialist for HUD properties. She felt there were some problems with the relocation program as written. She helped HUD Secretary Henry Cisneros and HUD staff rework the relocation program and took it back to implement it under her newly-formed WET National Relocation Services and was named one of the top relocation companies. The firm was formed to assist families to improve their quality of life while being relocated from crisis situations while returning to mainstream living.  Her mission was to relocate families with a unique and sensitive approach by going door-to-door to explain and allay their fears.

W.E.T. was originally formed to assist families to improve their quality of life while being relocated from crisis situations. President and CEO Cassandra Williams established a "unique" and "sensitive" approach to assist families to improve their quality of life while returning to main stream living.

Ms. Williams realized that if a person is not comfortable with him or her self, he/she cannot move forward with any aspect of their life. While assisting families with social service referrals, job training/development and all aspects of improved living, Ms. Williams began to ascertain that many individuals who were trying to pursue their goals in the entertainment industry, could not express themselves orally or verbally, hold an interview or communicate effectively to the media. Thus W.E.T. PR, Inc. was formed.
