Michael K Williams died on September 6, 2021 of a drug overdose. At the time of his death, Williams had nearly finished a memoir that tells the story of his past while looking to the future, a book that merges his life and his life’s work. Mike, as his friends knew him, was so much more than an actor. In Scenes from My Life, he traces his life in whole, from his childhood in East Flatbush and his early years as a dancer to his battles with addiction and the bar fight that left his face with his distinguishing scar.  

"All my pain has to count for something. If it isn't fed back into the community, used to help others find a way, then it was all for nothing. I mean, what else are we here for if not each other?" ~ Michael Kenneth Williams. Scenes From My Life, Introduction, xvii
