Badass of the Week: Nigel Cunningham-Williams

Nigel works with Rise Recovery, a local nonprofit that aims to help pull youth out of addiction and support them on the road to recovery. Nigel primarily serves adolescents aged 13-21 as well as their families. He believes he has a responsibility to help anyone who walks through the doors of Rise Recovery to find out how to live a life that makes them happy, joyous and free. His favorite topic to speak on as far as recovery is concerned would definitely be the contrast between life in active addiction versus life in recovery. He thinks it is incredible to see the growth and development in the life of adolescents as they find the desire and tools to change their lives for the better and how far they have come since they first started trying to get sober.

Nigel is also involved in several other organizations that work within systems of care throughout Texas and all across the United States. When he is not dedicating his time to helping others, he likes to play music and watch movies.

Thank you for your dedication Nigel, you are a true badass!
