Elisabeth Omilami encourages younger women to find a purpose and a cause that they are willing to die for. While reflecting on her life’s journey, she says she was chasing a dream that she could make a difference.
Omilami, who is now 74, is a longtime actor, humanitarian, and civil rights activist. The daughter of the late civil rights pioneers Juanita and Hosea Williams, she grew up fighting for freedom alongside her parents and working to combat hunger. Throughout her life, the current president of Hosea Feed the Hungry, and Homeless has followed in her parent’s footsteps while charting her own path.
As a featured guest on “Closer Look’s” Women’s History Month series, “Piloting the Journey,” Omilami admitted feeling guilty when she’s not helping others. “Your life is about what you can do for others,” she explained.
