Heels & Tiaras Ministries  

Evangelist Claudia Morales was born in Guatemala and came to the United States at the age

of 2 years old and has since lived in Long Island, NY .

She holds a bachelor’s in psychology and Sociology and is currently pursuing her master’s in

social services through Hunter College. 

Attending college as a single mother was a challenge but finally a reality that came true.

Claudia Morales is the founder of a Women’s Empowerment group called “ Heels & Tiaras

Ministries “ Through this ministry, many women have come to know their identity, their inner

beauty and their purpose in God and society. There are currently over 10K women who are a

part of this ministry. Its members consist of women from various states , countries and

nationalities. This ministry hosts an annual Tour which consist of conferences. They have been

able to host over 2,000 women during these events. Some of their guest speakers have been

Real Talk Kim, Cora Jakes-Coleman, John Gray and Evangelist Claudia herself.

During the last two years, Evangelist Claudia was led by God to minister to single mothers.

She became a single mother when her daughter was just 8 months. She was blessed to have

support from friends and family but saw how many of her single mother friends would struggle.

In 2018 and 2019, Evangelist Claudia held a Single Mothers Gala, free of charge to single

mothers. Over 50 single mothers were blessed with essentials, paid bills and so much more 

This year, the single mother’s gala will resume. This event is funded in full by Evangelist Claudia

because she understands the struggle that many single mothers have to endure.

Evangelist Claudia Morales is a sought-out speaker who has traveled to various states and

countries spreading the gospel of Christ. She has been interviewed in various platforms

including TBN, Radio Vision Cristiana and others. She is currently in the process of releasing 

her first book, titled “ From flops to heels” where she tells her testimony of how God took her out of her comfort zone and geared her towards a higher purpose.

She is the mother of 10-year-old, Emalyn. Being a single mother has drawn a desire in her to

also form a ministry geared towards children, ages 5-10 years old. This summer she will be

launching a children’s ministry called “ Kingdom Heroes “ which will host workshops,

educational services and activities for children.

Evangelist Morales is also the founder of a group called “ Fibro Queens”. For the last 6 years

she has been battling with Fibromyalgia and noticed there were very little support groups for

women in the same condition. Through ‘ fibro Queens’ she hosts one on one counseling and

support sessions for all those battling with this disease. 

The group currently hosts 180 members 

and everyday a new warrior joins and together they all battle against this disease.

Evangelist Claudia believes that real beauty starts within and we have been called not to

stand against each other but to join forces and empower women, ONE STEP AT A TIME.

When we collaborate , we don’t lose our individuality, instead we reproduce our personality.
