 Montel Williams goes along with the MS foundation and the PPA foundation, as well as working on his own show.  Montel Williams has worked in many charities, such as, St. Francis Food Pantries and Shelters, Montel Williams MS Foundation, and Ante Up For Africa.  In the beginning in Montel’s career, he was doing small tabloid shows, but after a year or two he was into more interesting subjects like lost loves, reuniting mothers who have put their children up for adoption, and stories about women that has faced certain danger such as rape or abuse.

 After 17 years on doing the show, “The Montel Williams Show” was preparing to shut down.  Once the season was over, CBS would produce almost 260 shows on video for all to watch in memory.  In an interview that they had almost a year before, Montel had mentioned that he had wanted to go into full acting for the rest of his career.

 We can use Montel’s advice for problems out of school and in school and we can use his writing techniques when we need to right a paper or an essay/report on the computer. We can recognize the way he sees things in his point of view and put then into our own words.

 I think that Montel realizes peoples mistakes and there problems because of the show he had. He would have people come in and work out there problems no matter what they were and knowing how certain people work I think helps him write in a certain way. I think he understands people in a way that no one else can because he has worked with people so long. Now that he had his own show, he has advice for everyone that he can just right down and put in books for anyone and everyone around the world to see.
