Author Information
LaTanya Brooks is not only an accomplished educator with a great passion for imparting knowledge, she is also a published author and literacy and STEM speaker. Specializing in Business, STEM, and K-12 student success, she recognizes that education is a powerful tool in overcoming obstacles and securing one's future. As such, she continually seeks to inspire both young and adult minds by targeting the transformation of mindsets through education and exposure. I stand on the shoulders of many women who came before me. These women are the reason I can speak freely and exercise many of the liberties that my male counterparts have been privy to all along. Many of the women in the book, These Shoulders I Stand On, opened doors for all women, elevated our position in society and gave us a resounding voice. --LaTanya Brooks It is LaTanya's belief that no one should be disadvantaged because of gender, disability and background. With her professional background in Business and Technology, LaTanya is adept at leveraging her talents to solve problems in her community, as she educates and motivates girls to pursue rewarding positions that are customarily held by men. Moreover, formulating creative solutions and empowering the professional development of women of all backgrounds is her way of paying it forward so that more women - and especially minority women - are enriched in the process. LaTanya's mission, as the people's advocate, is to bring the change that society needs by emphasizing women's importance and contributions to the world.
