Hello
LaTonya Neely is a servant who contributes the acceptance of her call into the service of “Servitude" to the teachings and upbringing received through the foundation laid thereof. In the legacy of her paternal grandfather, she thrives in the duty of sharing the word of encouragement and motivation through community. She has served in many capacities as an inspirational speaker and wellness advocate for her community. LaTonya is an advocate for life learning and serving; and believes that service first should be unto God and reflective on one’s true identity. Acknowledging that it is the spirit of love and respect that is ultimately in control, she seeks, daily, a renewed willingness to live with honor.
LaTonya serves her community in the capacities of Legislative Services Coordinator, adjunct faculty, an advocate for children and families, a kinship care consultant and board member for several organizations.
Her husband and she are the proud parents of two children and maintains a community garden that feeds neighbors for free. LaTonya enjoys traveling with family, classic movies, music, dancing and cooking.
LaTonya has chosen to live by this mantra, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” –Mahatma Ghandi
