As a young girl, Billie King grew up in Compton, California, in a city that has broken many before her, with the odds stacked against her at every turn. What was meant to be a childhood filled with safety and love became a life shaped by poverty, family dysfunction, abuse, and unbearable loss. At a very young age, Billie became a victim of molestation at the hands of a trusted family friend, and later witnessed and experienced domestic violence, all while trying to be the glue that held her family together. The Philanthropy Project honors Billie and her powerful autobiography, Billie: This Ain’t No Billie Jean King Story. Her story is one of survival, truth, and the quiet courage it takes to confront a painful past and reclaim one’s life. We honor Billie for her bravery in sharing her journey and for choosing healing, purpose, and a future shaped by her own voice.
