Today we give thanks to Rev Cecil Williams of . His passing today, at 94 years old, is a reminder of one of the most important ingredients of the Brand Marinade sauce.
LOVE is what Rev Cecil Williams led with. His leadership provided guidance to generations of leaders in our wonderful home of the the San Francisco Bay Area. And the love he shared had profound effects on all segments of our society from the gentleman laying helpless on the streets of The Filmore with nowhere to go to the person sitting at a big table at the house on the hill. Love was the magnet that brought other who also have it together. We were attracted by his magnet decades ago.
We have been a trusted partner with Glide over the last decade and there is no question that love is what brought us the opportunity to support . Thank you Paul and Anna.
We consider ourselves messengers and it was an honor and privilege to share the message of the amazing human named Cecil Williams. Designing and outfitting their Harm Reduction Team was an annual treat.
Rev, thank you for providing a foundation of compassion that continues to be the guide.

Excerpt from her post:
"Rev. Cecil Williams is a San Francisco icon. In 2019 Rev. Williams turned 90 years old and GLIDE wanted to celebrate in community. For his birthday I created custom digital artwork that highlighted the GLIDE values and some of Cecil’s beautiful words. I scoured the archives to find source materials including photos, old sermons and handwritten notes.
It was an absolute honor to be able to create something like this to celebrate this landmark birthday. The artwork was used in invitations, public flyers, emails, banners, buttons and more. "
