Shateerah Epps

I am a humanitarian, nonprofit founder, wife, mother, full-time Human Services student, business owner, singer, public speaker, and community advocate. Rooted in a family legacy of Black activism, I spent years as a boots-on-the-ground advocate. Today, I am building new ways to reach people through education, partnerships, and digital human services.

Through TEE Institute, I am working to advance financial literacy and economic mobility. My vision also includes supporting young people facing homelessness, foster youth, mental health, homeownership, entrepreneurship, and access to SSI and Medicare education. I hope to help build a digital resource hub that connects Black Americans and other communities with useful guidance, resources, and opportunities.

After nearly losing my life in 2023, I returned to college to strengthen my ability to serve. My faith guides my work. I hope my testimony, voice, and service will bring people closer to God and help create more opportunity for the next generation. I believe lasting change takes strong networks, education, planning, and action—and that people and the planet need us to work together.

I welcome collaborators who want to turn compassion into practical, lasting support. If you have knowledge, ideas, lived experience, or networks that can help reach communities in need, I would love to connect and build with you.
