C
hildren always seem to have an idea as to what they
want to be when they grow up. However, in the case of
Carolyn Elizabeth Mosby-Williams, her destiny was
developing right before her very eyes, even though she did not
see it until she grew up.
“Unflappable”, documents the first 40 years in the life of Gary, Indiana native
Carolyn E. Mosby-Williams, a veteran public relations and marketing professional
who is currently the chief marketing officer for a global not-for-profit service
organization headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana.
Born into a family already seasoned with age and older children, Mosby-
Williams introduces readers to her life in an honest and sometimes humorous coming
of age story. In childhood she was prepared for life’s twists and turns, including
mortality between her parents when both faced battles with cancer.
As a somewhat rebellious teenager,Mosby-Williams highlights the various tests
of discipline, respect and focus demanded from John Oliver Mosby, Sr., her retired
father and her mother, the late Indiana State Senator Carolyn Brown Mosby, whose
workaholic background passed down to her daughter. “Unflappable” also reveals
the benefits and the angst of Mosby-Williams sometimes living in her mother’s
shadow and fighting to become her own person.
Along with her strengths, “Unflappable” also follows Mosby-Williams’ own
challenges and opportunities, including working with notable individuals such as
the late Rev. Charles Williams (no relation), president of Indiana Black Expo, Inc.,
a man that Mosby-Williams called mentor and friend.With exposure to media,
celebrity and corporate America, Mosby-Williams expresses how she unknowingly
built a wall of protection around her until an outsider tells her that her foundation
is crumbling. Readers will go on the journey and learn of the necessary decisions
that will change her life and allow her to rebuild.
The journey will also include a look inside the family’s
connections with Black and American history over the generations.
