Notes:

Founded Challenge 2 Change which serves as a mentorship program for at-risk youth in Baltimore city.
Mentors youth with conflict resolution and emotional intelligence programs.
Encourages STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, & Math) education outside of school.
With a past of loss and a lack of nurturing in his youth, he strives to be the person he needed as a child for others.
Created sports and other recreational programs to give inner-city youth a sense of belonging.
Cultivates an environment where others can find their identity, an opportunity they might not have had previously.
Uncle T exhibits the 8th habit of mind "Applying past knowledge to new situations." With a past in prison, early death in his family in his youth, and the tragic loss of his own first-born son, Terry Williams broke the cycle for not only himself, but his family and many future families.

Notes:

Has been making content for 13 years, starting out on YouTube with primarily game content before migrating to Twitch
Astronomically raised the bar for Twitch streaming by producing events such as the Jerma Dollhouse, a 3 day-long episodic series of event streams modeled after the life simulation game The Sims, allowing his viewers to vote and determine his actions throughout his fictional day, or the Jerma Baseball Association stream, where two teams of professional-level minor league baseball players played a full game of baseball while performing clown acts and magic tricks, all the while their mascots engaged in a WWE-style backstage brawl.
His career has only maintained its level of consistency and prestige due to his unique personality and showmanship, his true dedication to the craft of entertaining others and himself through bizarre, high-effort entertainment.
