Channel 10 News First: Azelene Williams Interview the Fight against Strangulations

Screenshot of a news article titled 'New weapons in the fight against strangulation' discussing a public education campaign for West Australians about suffocation and strangulation, dated July 7, 2021.

Six people standing together outdoors, smiling, with green trees and blue sky in the background. One man in a white shirt and a woman in a floral dress are in the middle, with a man in a striped shirt and a young girl in a striped dress, all right behind a column on a porch.

A woman holding a large ceremonial check made out to Azelene Williams for ten thousand dollars from Westfield Whitford City, with a poster promoting local hero awards in the background.

A woman with short dark hair, wearing a black sleeveless top with a red necklace, appears to be speaking in front of a microphone. Behind her are two women, one with blond hair and the other with gray hair, listening. The setting looks like a news segment.

A woman with long dark hair smiling, sitting outdoors against a white brick wall, wearing a black and white floral dress.

Screenshot of a webpage article about Azelene Williams' mission to heal trauma through lived experience, featuring a photo of a woman with dark hair, wearing a white jacket and black top, sitting outdoors against a light-colored wall.

Cover of NY Weekly Magazine featuring Azelen Williams, highlighting her as one of the top 20 women leaders to watch in 2025 with text about her impact and leadership.
