George Williams – Technologist, Media Producer, Community Educator
George Williams is a dynamic technologist, award-winning entrepreneur, and media producer whose work bridges the gap between digital innovation and community empowerment. He is the Founder and Executive Director of Project Media Zone, a Bronx-based nonprofit media hub dedicated to equipping underserved residents—especially youth and aspiring content creators—with the tools and training needed to tell their own stories and uplift their communities through media.
George is also the Founder of Digitoral Media Productions, a video production venture that captures compelling stories through branded content, documentaries, and digital series. He specializes in fast-paced, interview-based video production using top-tier equipment and post-production workflows, while also teaching others how to produce high-impact content.
With roots in the IT industry, George launched his tech career as a Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE), managing enterprise communication systems for Fortune 100 companies like Pfizer, Unilever, and Thomas J. Lipton. He later founded Ujamaa Communications and OpenChoice IT Services, pioneering affordable technology solutions for Harlem-based businesses and nonprofits.
His passion for education and equity led him to roles as a technology trainer for CAMBA, Operation Hope, and NYC Parks, where he empowered hundreds of small business owners, immigrants, and young people with digital literacy and entrepreneurship tools. His impact was recognized with the Project Enterprise Entrepreneur of the Year Award.
In recent years, George has combined his IT background with media production to meet a new need: preparing communities of color to not only participate in the digital economy, but to own their narratives. His production credentials include work with BRIC Arts Media, BronxNet, DCTV, and NY1’s Cheryl Wills, and his church media work with Union Grove Missionary Baptist Church has created impactful worship experiences post-COVID
George is currently building a mobile studio using a Sprinter van to expand his reach across New York City and beyond, aiming to train and equip more creatives through on-the-go media workshops and community events
