A young Chester County woman who defied the odds reached graduation day. She’s been through so many hardships, including the recent loss of her mother. But, she persevered and Friday night, she walked across the stage.
18-year-old Jamera Whitney Williams crosses the stage outside her school Kennett High to get her diploma during graduation. It is a bittersweet moment for Jamera.
Her mother Tylanda died March 17th after a battle with aggressive colon cancer that had metastasized to many parts of her body. Jamera breaks down in tears. "Her mother was her dearest best friend," Williams said of Jamera and Tylanda. "The journey has been long. Some places it was hard and Jamera persevered," said Williams.
"In middle school, she was aggressively bullied and assaulted inside the school building at a charter school in Philadelphia County and because she thought there was no other way to handle it, she tried to commit suicide and went breathless in my arms," said Williams. The family hopes her triumph serves as an inspiration for other young people facing life challenges.
