Meet Shirlita Tillman-Lewis | Visionary & Entrepreneur

We had the good fortune of connecting with Shirlita Tillman-Lewis and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Shirlita, do you have any habits that you feel contribute to your effectiveness?
Working past NO, you have to keep going because you only NEED one yes

Staying consistent

Having a team that has a heart like mine and believes in my vision so we are all working towards the same goal

Using a calendar it seems small but it’s such a big deal

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I currently work a 9-5 for a company by day
I am the founder of Ladies With Purpose which is a women’s empowerment non profit we assist in the community and provide resources to women in need.We meet monthly just to connect and build community
I am the owner of PlanLi&Co we do events and decor,I am also the author of a childrens book titled I Matter it is available on Amazon.
I am working on something magical that I feel will help so many people I can not wait to introduce my new venture
I was a teen mom I had my first son when I was 17 and so many of my plans changed because I had to work and go to school but I was determined that even though some people threw me away and gave up on me I wasn’t going to give up on myself.I worked extra hard bc I’ve always known I had something in me.When I want something I’m going to work hard to make it happen.Hard work and making the right connections and having a pure heart will open doors for you

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
So I recently moved to Salisbury NC in September so I’m still getting acclimated to the city but some places I think people should definitely go if you love coffee or smoothies Koco Java has the BEST I would definitely recommend going to Archies for lunch they have lots of festivals downtown but you could also try MACS in concord and then do shopping and on Sunday going to Promise City Church where Pastor Derrick and Roshonda Hawkins lead amazing ministry that just launched in salisbury in January

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
My Mother is literally one of the strongest women I know she literally pushed me to be amazing and to give my all at everything I do.

My Husband is my biggest supporter

My children they are my world.I just want to show them they can break barriers.
