Minister Celina Fields
Executive Creative Arts Director & Co-founder
Director, Writer, Singer, Songwriter, Leader, Wife, Mother and the list goes on. Her many roles in life have yet to be fulfilled as God has given her a broad spectrum of life, love, and vision. Born in the hallway of a Bellevue Washington hospital, Mrs. Celina Fields must have known she had much to accomplish in her lifetime.
​
Being raised in the great community of Willingboro, NJ, Celina was cultured in good schools, safe neighborhoods, and found a passion early on for swimming. Life appeared to be normal until her parents announced their separation. As a result her mother and siblings moved to Atlanta in 1993, where Celina and her sister were immediately exposed to the Atlanta Music Industry. From girl groups, rehearsals, studio sessions, shows, maintaining Honor Roll at school and no relationship with her father, Celina was digesting her first dose of “real life”.
At the age of 15, an unexpected pregnancy presented a challenging season in her life. “Although teenage motherhood is no joke, making excuses was not an option. No one was going to label me as a bad mother. Enough labels already come with getting pregnant at 15.” Celina maintained her school work and held a job at a hair salon to cover her financial responsibilities. “Through all the pain of my childhood and adolescence I found a sense of healing through song writing. I cannot imagine my life without the gift of song. Songs are special to me because they are pieces of art that last forever.”
​
Meanwhile, in drama class she signed up to be a student of the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation, Inc. for the performing arts. “We learned about Tupac's life, studied his poetry and music, gained life skills and set goals for ourselves. That helped me mature as a teenage mother and aspire to do even more great things in life.” Celina’s work ethic and passion for continuing Tupac’s legacy brought her a promotion to Artistic Director and working with the students of TASF, Inc. for over seven years. “I was exposed to so many wonderful things, directed some awesome shows, and participated in making a difference in the lives of young people. To me, there is nothing more fulfilling than that. At that time, I thought that I would be working for TASF Inc forever. However, the time came for me to grow and I took a step of true faith.”
​
“I simultaneously became a server for Longhorn Steakhouse and a server of our Heavenly Father.” She renewed and developed her relationship as a member of Stronghold Christian Church. Under the leadership of Minister Valerie Green and Alphonso Brown, Celina quickly became a youth ministry leader and was a powerhouse for the kingdom. While growing spiritually, she also grew professionally being promoted to a management position for Darden Restaurant.
​
Soon after, Minister Guyton and Celina found that they shared a similar vision for a youth organization. Hence, C Life’s Fulfillment, Inc. is a part of manifesting God’s plan for Celina’s life from the beginning of time. “Just as the seasons change in the weather, the seasons of life change us and help form our futures. My goal is to achieve balance in family, ministry, career, and finance. I am called to teach young and old using all of the many gifts that God has blessed me with, through creativity, music, business, and education. For me, it is all about seeing youth fulfill their purpose!”
