Biography

Billy has spearheaded our Grassroots Movement since Nuru's inception and catalyzed its growth from a handful of volunteers to thousands of poverty fighters. As Nuru's lead advocate and storyteller, Billy has been invited to share at events around the country. He is a consummate networker and has been instrumental in building relationships with movements like the ONE Campaign. Billy is as passionate about ending extreme poverty as he is about his home state of West Virginia. And if you are seated next to him on a plane, at an adjacent table at Starbucks, or trapped with him in an elevator, he'll be sure to invite you to join our efforts, too.
