JaQuitta Williams is a television journalist, who worked in Atlanta, Georgia for WSB-TV.

Williams was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007.[1]

Her cancer diagnosis was the trigger for her to become a spokesperson for healthy living. In 2009 Williams took an 18-month leave of absence from WSB-TV to fight her cancer diagnosis.[2]

In July 2010 Williams appeared at an event organized by fashion for a cure, a non-profit dedicated to fight cancer that encourages survivors to appear or perform at its fund-raising events.

The organization encourages local groups to host fashion shows where all the models are cancer survivors.[2]

Williams sang the Destiny's Child song "Survivor" one month after she returned to work following her 18-month leave of absence.[3]

Williams also appeared in a film directed by Robert Townsend, Musical Theatre of Hope.[3]
