Particularly Interested In

Most of my professional career has been in the Kids & Family space. I love that demo for any platform. However, I've also spent years in adult features and love a really good TV series.

Favorite kinds of titles to read:
To All The Boys I Loved Before (YA)
Something In The Rain (grounded Korean Drama)
The Expanse (epic sci-fi)
Sinners (imaginative, bold features. I don't like gore, so I didn't select Horror)
Indiana Jones (epic adventure)
Chronicle (I read it when it was being shopped around and I legit read it for pleasure sometimes.)
Kevin Can F*** Himself (genre-bending TV)
Things specifically geared towards an African American audience of ANY genre that isn't purely gore

Specifically Not Interested In

I do not like gore. Anything in the vein of SAW or is about chopping people up, isn't for me. I don't always "get" slapstick humor for adults, which most buddy comedies are. I also am picky when it comes to Rom Coms. GROUNDED romance is my JAM.

I don't like anime. I get bored of European history. I no longer care. It has to be something particularly amazing or cinematically groundbreaking (example: NO to Dunkirk or Oppenheimer. YES to 1917 [one shot film]).

I would prefer not to read anything that is based upon Nickelodeon characters, it gets into weird territory given my position.

Niki Williams is a television executive with two decades of experience in the entertainment industry. In her most recent role, she was the Executive in Charge for the iconic reboot of the character Face called Face’s Music Party.

Whether developing high-impact campaigns, mentoring emerging
