DuBois, Latanya

Latanya DuBois grew up in the Bronx NY, surrounded by graffiti, drugs and poverty. Her parents struggled with drug addiction and Latanya was left to take care of their mental health and emotional needs all on her own. Overwhelmed with frustration, she coped by fighting, skipping school, falling into abusive relationships and became more and more shut down. Feeling suicidal, angry, unworthy, and completely alone, Latanya tried to cope with counseling sessions, going to church, and leaning on friends. Feeling hopeless she, eventually, ran away from home at the age of 16. Right before her 18th birthday, she gave birth to her son who was soon diagnosed with cerebral palsy. This was the turning point in her life, as she was determined to change the course of their lives for the better. Becoming his advocate launched her public speaking career. Now he is thriving and intelligent young man, aspiring to become a music producer.

Latanya went back to school to get her bachelor's and Master's degrees and is now in the midst of her doctoral years. She started to work at a nonprofit agency in 1996 to give back. During this time, she used her story and her ability to understand others' pain to help them move towards success and positivity in their life. All of this had a huge impact on her own recovery towards inner peace. When she took on the role of group facilitator in 1999, she got more and more in touch with her gifts and talents. She eventually went on to working with several non-profits and took on multiple leadership roles. In 2008 she founded Eagle Eye Management, LLC., a full-service consultant and personal development training and coaching firm. She is also the founder of the Embrace Your Experience (E.Y.E.) Project which is a program that support individuals as they explore and overcome the barriers created when we do not allow ourselves to be all that we are so we can do all that we are called to do.

Latanya is a profound advocate for people living with disabilities, overcoming addiction and health disparities and women who have been battered or otherwise abused. It is her hope ·and intention to support those who want to live their highest calling in life and she is dedicated to using her many skills and talents to help them achieve their dreams.
