"You have value, and you are valued."
You have value. And you are valued. That is the heartbeat of everything Rev. Dr. Catherine Williams does — in the classroom, in the pulpit, and in every room she enters.
As a specialist in preaching and worship, Catherine has devoted her career to elevating the voices that have been told their ways of worshiping, preaching, and engaging God are somehow less than. Particularly among Afro-Caribbean Christian communities, her work is a call to own your flavor — It is your spice; the world enjoys it and needs you.
