Carla Williams says college athletics is the reason she was able to go to college. In high school, she was a star basketball player and her teachers helped her go to basketball camps and travel to play in front of college scouts. Once she made it to the University of Georgia she excelled on and off the court, eventually earning her doctorate and building her career in coaching and then athletic administration. When she was appointed as Director of Athletics at UVA in 2017, she became the first Black woman to be Athletic Director of a Power Five Conference.
