First Lady tILLMAN
Having a love for God’s Word, coupled with a passion for aiding women in pursuing their purpose, Catrina founded S.H.E Ministries. S.H.E (Spiritual Humble and Elegant) Ministries thrives on empowering women from all walks of life to live out their God-given purpose. S.H.E Ministries was featured in the 2017 May issue of Kingdom Christian Magazines. Later that year in November, Catrina released her first book titled “Her Walk: The Journey Within”, a 31 Day Devotional. Within its first month, over 500 copies were sold nationwide!
To further expand S.H.E Ministries, in December of 2019 Catrina added her “SHE Prays” line of products which includes her one-of-a-kind Prayer Mats and Prayer Journals. Her flagship prayer mats has been showcased by Pastor Sarah Jakes Roberts, Pastor Cora Jakes, and has been featured on Master P product reviews.
With a servant’s heart and a love for man-kind, Catrina Tillman alongside her husband Rev. Dr. Tillman both became leaders in the response efforts to the Flint Water Crisis. The Lott Carey Herald took note of Catrina’s ongoing involvement in aiding those affected by the water crisis, in which a featured article titled “Bridge over Troubled Water” in their Summer 2016 Issue highlighted her engagement and leadership.
Ebony Magazine, CNN, and Shondaland also took notice of Catrina’s work as she notably, spearheaded a partnership between First Trinity Missionary Baptist Church and Actor, Musician, and Philanthropist Jaden Smith in the development of the “Water Box”; a portable water filtration system that can produce 5 gallons of clean water in 30 seconds. Within its first 7 months of usage, the Water Box replaced over 68,000 bottles of water!
Out of the health concerns in lieu of the Water Crisis, Rev. Dr. Ezra Tillman founded the Revive Community Health Center under the leadership of Catrina as Executive Director. Revive CHC is the only community health center in the state of Michigan that address the current maternal infant health disparity crisis. As a result of her leadership, Revive CHC had the honor of submitting collaborative recommendations to the Biden-Harris administration in support of the Momnibus Act. This bill will make critical investments in social determinants of health that influence maternal health outcomes.
Catrina enjoys talking about the practical things of life while being able to find God in them. It is her desire that God’s children humbly seek Him to understand his/her purpose in life and operate in confidence knowing what God has destined for them is just for them!
