Live from our Harlem main stage at City College's Erin Davis Hall, here's Antoinette Marie.

Antoinette Marie Williams is an exuberant advocate, an educator and a world traveler.

At 75, she's still playing and she gives free backgammon lessons to adults and teens outdoors in the park in Harlem or on Zoom.

And according to Antoinette, she doesn't plan to slow down anytime soon.

By night, she's a slightly less serious, bewigged content creator on TikTok.

Though those once mischievous preschoolers are now mischievous preteens, Rachel is happy to report they have never tried to murder her again.

Well, not intentionally, at least.

They may still give her a heart attack, though.
