The GOAT of Social Media & Entrepreneurship Tips

Latasha is incredibly knowledgeable on all things social media, course creation and entrepreneurship. I listen to her episodes literally everyday as I go through my day as a social media manager in the process of transitioning into a full time freelancer. Her tips are the missing pieces to so many questions that I’ve needed clarity on. She keeps it real w/real life experiences & seems like the friend anyone would love to have around.
