Chris William, a 26-year-old Southside Chicago native, has surmounted his struggle with homelessness to make history as the youngest Black-American Subway franchise owner in Atlanta Georgia.
While still a homeless youth, Williams worked extremely hard to overcome his setbacks in life.
As a teen, Williams moved from the Southside of Chicago to Phoenix Arizona to attend Finance School and begin a better life.
Following a streak of disappointments from various job opportunities, he found himself homeless and often slept in his rental car.
However, life would smile on him again when he was hired as an Automotive Finance Manager after four months of being homeless.
