Ms. Raja Williams, also known as Raja’s Insight, fiercely arrived on the writer’s scene in 2012 after being awakened by a prolific poet, lyricist, songwriter, and music producer who encouraged her to write daily. After nearly twenty years of pent-up words only floating in her own head, she began to allow the words to spill out onto empty pages and find way to readers needing encouraging words. Raja entered one of her poems into a poetry contest in 2013 and won a full publishing contract and released her first book “The Journey Along The Way” in January of 2014 with Inner Child Press.

Through the publishing process and having connected with so many amazing writers and poets from around the world Raja was moved to create a community for writers known as

“Creative Talents Unleashed.”
