She said her kids, ages six and ten, went from not looking forward to joining her at volunteer events, to asking when they’d be going back. “I feel like I’m creating this giving heart in them, I hope they continue it when they get older, I don’t know if they will but I hope they do but I truly believe it’s creating who they are,” she said. While Latasha doesn’t know what’s next for her career, or her philanthropic pursuits, she knows she wants to continue making an impact on the community. “I won’t stop in the community,” she said.”That I do know.” I always wanted to work at an organization that had a service base to it.
