Foreword By
Vanessa Williams - is a singer-songwriter and actress. Williams made history on September 17, 1983 when she became the first woman of African American descent to be crowned Miss America. Williams' reign as Miss America came to an abrupt end when scandal led to her subsequent resignation of the title. Williams rebounded by launching a career as an entertainer, earning Grammy®, Emmy®, and Tony® award nominations. She is also well-known for her outspoken support of gay rights, having won the Human Rights Campaign "Ally for Equality" award in 2008. Ms. Williams penned the foreword while on location shooting Hannah Montana: The Movie due for release in 2009.
