In this episode of Don’t Quote Me, we sit down with Cole Williams: a pillar of the Grand Rapids community, Co-Founder and Executive Director of The Delta Project, and a lifelong advocate for youth and justice.

Cole has spent years working within the juvenile justice system, offering mentorship, education, and compassion to young people who are too often forgotten. But beyond his professional titles, Cole is a father, a leader, and a believer in the power of love as a form of resistance.

Together, we talk about what it means to truly care for your community, where joy shows up in hard spaces, and how we can each play a part in creating lasting change. This episode is about heart, about showing up, holding space, and choosing hope.
