Born and raised until age 3 in Vicenza, Italy, Lucia Williams is a military brat. She moved at age 12 from North Carolina to Savannah, Georgia, before coming to Atlanta, which she now calls home. Calling herself "a true boy mom," she has two sons in college and a third who graduated high school in 2022. Her youngest “son” is a 2-year-old playful stay-at-home German Shepherd.

She graduated with honors from Saint Leo University. She began attending the Savannah campus, where she obtained an associate degree in liberal arts. She then attended the Atlanta campus, where she received a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology with a Minor in Criminal Justice and subsequently a Master's in Criminal Justice with a concentration in Forensic Science.

Lucia is a passionate victim advocate who is driven to help others. She has more than 13 years of experience working with domestic violence and human trafficking survivors; adults and children with special needs; those with behavioral-health issues; the homeless; the elderly; children with incarcerated parents, among others.
When not working, Lucia loves to spend time with family, go on weekend getaways, travel to other countries, go to the beach (she's a true water baby), read, meditate, do yoga, cook, watch movies at home or at the theater, skate, and volunteer at church and in the community.
