Williams — who became the first Black woman ever to serve as the state’s party chair in 2019 — confirmed that she was stepping down on March 31.

When Shanette Williams speaks publicly, she holds the obituary of her 28-year-old daughter, Amber Nicole Thurman, in her hands. She says it gives her comfort and the strength to continue to tell the story of how a Georgia hospital allowed her daughter to die unnecessarily.
