Meet Andrea

We provide Diversity in S.T.E.A.M based Children's Books and Programs as resources for Parents and Educators to awaken our children of color to achieve success at page #1 of their dreams. Each child is inspired to achieve in academics and life through the eyes of our illustrated life-like relatable characters learning to fly, despite starting life as a crawling Caterpillar.

Andrea 'The Chocolate Butterfly' Williams is the creative force behind BeUButterfly Children's Books & Programs, dedicated to empowering women and young minds, guiding them to unlock their inner potential and dreams. Through the art of storytelling, mentorship, and her tireless advocacy for diversity in S.T.E.A.M. fields, Andrea nurtures personal growth and leadership. With a rich and diverse background as an African-American Woman, Mother, Evangelist, S.T.E.A.M. Professional, Pageant Queen, Entrepreneur, Award-Winning Speaker, and Published Author, she is deeply committed to uplifting individuals from all walks of life.

Andrea's journey includes noteworthy accomplishments within Toastmasters International, where she has showcased her innovative approach to spreading messages of empowerment. Her unshakeable faith, coupled with over a decade of mentoring experience since 2011, fuels her mission to catalyze positive change and foster unity in our interconnected world. Professionally, Andrea plays a pivotal role as a Senior team member, offering mentorship, supervision, and training to her colleagues, contributing to their personal growth and professional success.

She is thrilled to introduce her latest literary creation, "The Game of Life," a tale populated by a diverse ensemble of characters including Blu, Lorien, Yusef, Angel, Daisy, Mr. Fly, and Teacher Caterpillar. Each character brings their unique perspective to the story, with Mr. Fly, the Robotics Coach, and Engineer, infusing the narrative with S.T.E.A.M. inspiration. Teacher Caterpillar not only guides children in following rules but also reveals the limitless potential within life's journey. This book underscores the profound significance of embracing diversity and pursuing individual passions while navigating the challenges of adolescence.
