I began writing with a clear mission: to give voice to stories that truly matter. My books confront difficult topics — from bullying and hazing to mental health and belonging — always with honesty and compassion.
As an advocate for hazing prevention and change, I write to inspire brave conversations and empower adults to act.
Whether you’re a parent, educator, student, or leader, I believe you have the power to spark new possibilities.
Together, we can build stronger, safer spaces — one book, one voice at a time.
With courage,
DJ Williams
After experiencing the heartbreaking loss of my own nephew from hazing, I learned firsthand how grief reshapes every part of our world.
Light After the Loss of Your Child is a gentle, honest companion for anyone navigating the unimaginable pain of losing a child. With raw vulnerability and deep compassion, this book offers comfort, understanding, and small steps toward healing.
Through shared stories and quiet reflections, it reminds grieving parents that while life will never be the same, light can still find its way back in — and that no one should walk this path alone.
Absolutely love the book! This book describes every feeling and emotion I have had since my son died in a car accident in 2018 . My only regret is that this book wasn't brought to my attention earlier. I need to read this and have that feeling that someone else understands how I have felt and struggled with deep grief since I lost my child . It's extremely difficult to cope with losing a child . Thank you so much for providing this wonderful book ! God bless you!!!
This was a very helpful book.It made me realize and understand my feelings about my son's death.I would definently recommend this read to anyone who has suffered the loss of a child...I now know how others felt when they lost a child.Very humbling experience.x
I would definitely recommend this book for anyone who has suffered a loss of their child. My teenage daughter went to Heaven 41 months ago, and all this information helps a lot. It's hard to say it in words, but reading this somehow lets us parents know that we are not the only ones who suffered a loss of our child and that someone else knows how we feel.
The writing is accessible, yet deeply respectful of the gravity of the subject matter. Williams is careful not to provide simplistic solutions but instead encourages readers to honor their grief at their own pace. Each chapter builds on the idea that healing is not linear, and there is no “right” way to grieve. Instead, the journey is personal, unique, and ultimately transformative.
The book covers everything from A to Z on grieving the loss of your child. The differences the impact has on each person touched by the loss is spot on as well as how to navigate that grief together amidst those differences. A good resource for the club no parent wants to belong to ever.
Middle school isn’t just awkward years and growing pains. It’s where the rules of power, silence, and belonging get written — and too often, cruelty becomes tradition. What starts as bullying in a hallway can grow into hazing behind closed doors. And by the time adults notice, the harm is already done.
Bullying Leads to Hazing pulls back the curtain on this dangerous cycle. With raw stories, unflinching truths, and strategies that actually work, it challenges parents, educators, and caregivers to stop minimizing, start noticing, and step in before it’s too late.
This book doesn’t offer quick fixes. It provides something more substantial: a path to raise students who refuse to harm others for acceptance — and who know real belonging doesn’t require someone else’s pain.
