ABOUT LATASHA
You Are Welcome Here...
"YOUR VISION IS BEYOND THIS MOMENT"
My passion has always been to help others. I have served in many capacities, such as a leader, a coach, a choreographer, a mentor, a counselor, you name it. Although I have experienced challenges in life and in some of those instances felt ashamed of the decisions that I made, I continued to persevere and with Divine God's help soon discovered my purpose in life. This discovery helped me to create my own nonprofit organization, The Flora Pearl Foundation, Incorporated and business, Latasha J. Humphrey, LLC.
My desire has always been to be a channel of resources to provide the necessary tools that will empower others. Helping individuals with the knowledge that I have and learning from them in the process are vital keys on this journey called Life.
My plan is to continue to release positive energy by having an expectancy to reach beyond the stars.
I look forward to our lights shining together.
Keep Shining,
Latasha J. Humphrey
