A resident of North Kensington for over 30 years as well as an experienced leader in advocating for equality, diversity, community engagement and justice – she was head of Equality and Diversity for the Crown Prosecution Service in London for 14 years and has worked on campaigns for Stephen Lawrence and Frank Critchlow – Yvette Williams witnessed the Grenfell Tower fire in June 2017. Along with Judy Bolton, she co-founded Justice 4 Grenfell, an organisation that has campaigned for justice for the Grenfell victims and to hold those responsible for the failure to provide the residents with safe homes to account, making sure that Grenfell remains in the public consciousness so it can never happen again.
