Guest Speaker LaTersa Blakely

Earlier in her life, LaTersa dealt with years being bitter and negative about the obstacles she endured in her life. Ultimately, she had had enough of being miserable and not wanting to live anymore. Through that experience, her book “From Brokenness To Greatness” was born, which will launch in 2012. The mission of the book is to teach women how to live beyond their past and step into their greatness; and in it, she shares inspiration and tips on how living everyday with thankfulness and being positive can help turn any negative situation around. By sharing her story, LaTersa feels she can help save lives worldwide.

Additionally, LaTersa is the founder of Moms Wearing Multiple Hats, a place that shares business tips and inspiration with mom entrepreneurs and helps them balance motherhood and work. She created the site after receiving many emails and comments about how her inspiration and upbeat attitude has inspired them to become better women, moms and mom entrepreneurs. Moms Wearing Multiple Hats helps women have a more balanced, healthier, smarter and wealthier lives.

LaTersa received her Bachelor’s Degree in Agriculture Economics from the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff and her Master’s degree in Agri-business Management from Alabama A&M University.

She is dedicated to inspiring and motivating the lives of everyone around her. And LaTersa desires to empowers others to be the best in all they set out to do and encourages every individual she meets to remain positive and to always look for the good in every situation.
