A graduate of JustLeadershipUSA’s Leading with Conviction (LwC) program, she brings leadership expertise to the fight for criminal justice reform.
A justice-impacted individual herself, Latecia understands firsthand the challenges of reentry and the systemic barriers of post-conviction poverty. Through her person-centered, trauma-informed coaching approach, she applies proven reentry strategies, cognitive behavioral techniques, and workforce development models to help others overcome adversity, develop resilience, and take control of their personal power.
As an advocate for second chances, Latecia works with the Clean Slate Initiative and TimeDone Campaigns to amplify marginalized voices, drive policy change, and eliminate the lifelong consequences of a criminal record. Her unique blend of lived experience, professional expertise, and commitment to evidence-based solutions makes her a powerful force for justice, reentry success, and systemic reform.
