Ten minutes with Latosha
01What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
I would say, definitely keep God first. And let Him guide you. Pray about everything, because that's what I do. Even when I have to make decisions at work, I pray about it, listen to my heart, and move forward. Don't regret anything, and don't look at life as a loss, but as a lesson, because we're always learning.
