the person behind the data
Hi, I'm
Kamri.
Problem solver. Storyteller. Community builder. I'm on a mission to use data to make the world a little more understandable, and a lot more equitable.

I've always been drawn to research: the process of asking hard questions and actually digging for answers. Data felt like a natural fit because it's one of the most powerful tools we have for understanding the world.
But here's what really hooked me: data gets labeled as cold and disconnected from people. I don't see it that way at all. Every dataset is made up of real human decisions, real human experiences, real human lives. Behind every number is a story waiting to be told.
I'm a problem solver at my core, and data science is, at its best, about solving the biggest problems we face. That's where I want to be.
"Data seems like it can be disconnected from people. But it is nothing but stories of people behind it."
Kamri WilliamsI started Melanated Mamas Golden Crescent the same way I approach most things: I saw a need and I stepped up to meet it.
I needed a community. A safe space. A place where Black mothers in the Golden Crescent could show up fully as themselves, without explanation, without having to shrink. I figured if I needed it, others did too. I was right.
Running this nonprofit has deepened how I think about everything in my work. Access matters. Representation matters. The tools we build in tech, in data, in AI should actually reflect and serve the people using them. That belief shows up in every project I take on.
I'm actively looking for my next opportunity in data. If something here resonated, I'd love to talk.
