Latina Lightbourne, Ed.D (Newsome)

Founder & President

I am a mother.  I parent the three of my birth children and many children whom God gives to me as I travel along my journey. I am a parent advocate, and find pleasure in teaching principles of parenting, a subject that I believe should be taught in organized schools.
