About us
CATRELL REID
I AM THE OWNER OF "SHADES." GET TO KNOW MORE about me.
I’m a woman of God who overcame many stereotypes. In my overcoming years, I married the man strong enough to hold me up, and birthed beautiful babies who pushed my purpose. Born and raised in Chicago, IL, I learned to embrace my beginning. Sharing my story is my untouchable gift, and with that, comes a piece of my passion.

SHADES is an acknowledgement of women and some of our infecting struggles. Stereotypes can infect so many aspects of our lives, without us knowing.
SHADES is a movement, a voice, an attitude, a posture, and a declaration!!! It is a celebration of women from all walks of life, determined to leave their mark in the earth.
We are determined to overcome past mistakes, failures, detours, naysayers, and spirits of opposition. We may have been marginalized, ostracized, hurt, denied, rejected, abused, and abandoned. We may have been broken but we have NEVER been defeated. We are SHADES and we OVERCAME!
