  • Summary

  • Diane Williams, cousin of Co-Host, Clara Williams shares a story that is part of the motivating force behind the creation of this podcast. Diane talks about growing up in the Church of God In Christ, with a family who loved gospel music. She shares her journey from shame to self-love, after becoming a pregnant teen. She talks about the people who influenced the music of that era and celebrates how singing in the choir healed her life.

    Highlights:

    • Just after high school, a young Diane becomes pregnant and is shunned and isolated for her “sin.”
    • Shortly after the birth of her son, Diane is disappointed because she could not participate in the first national tour with the Edwin Hawkins singers; 
    • Diane takes cousin Clara’s spot on the second tour, when Clara decides to go to college; and
    • Diane discovers ministry and healing through song. 

    In the next episode, Gwendolyn Lee Mitchell shares her experience as one of the youngest members of the choir.
