In 2009, Latasha became Program Director for the Women in Entertainment Empowerment Network (WEEN) inaugural summer academy in New York City. She went on to spend 4 years building and developing the academy into a viable program that would groom young women between the ages of 18-22 to be next-generation entertainment moguls.
