Founder and Chairman of the Board
Terica Carlisle is the founder of Terica Cares Incorporated, a faith-based nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting women, children, and families in need. Her journey to advocacy began with her own decade-long battle with endometriosis, a chronic and often misunderstood disease that caused her years of pain, misdiagnoses, and emotional hardship.
From her teenage years, Terica endured excruciating symptoms without answers or support. It wasn’t until she was 30 years old that she finally received a proper diagnosis after countless doctor visits, hospital stays, and even major surgery. Despite medical interventions, her struggle continued, and she often felt unseen, unheard, and dismissed by the healthcare system.
Yet, through perseverance, faith, and resilience, Terica pressed forward. After years of treatments, including hormonal therapies and surgery, she achieved what many thought impossible—welcoming her miracle baby at age 39, despite the challenges of endometriosis.
Out of her personal pain grew a deep passion to ensure that no woman suffers in silence as she once did. This calling led to the creation of Terica Cares Incorporated, where Terica now advocates for women with endometriosis, promotes mental health awareness, and provides relief and encouragement to families experiencing hardship.
Her mission is rooted in compassion, hope, and advocacy—driven by the belief that every woman deserves access to proper care, support, and the dignity of being truly heard. Terica’s story stands as a testament to resilience, faith, and the power of transforming personal struggle into purpose for the greater good.
