"Women's History Month is so deserving and so special because we won't give them enough credit for all the things they've done not only now, but in the past," Williams said. "They've been peacemakers. They've been the ones who have been pillars in our community and pillars in our society and leading the way, leading the charge.
"We want to say thank you for all that you do and we are excited to give you not only the credit you deserve, but the love that you deserve."
