ABOUT ME
Hello, I’m Latiesha. I have always been a little unconventional in my thought process on life. In my 20’s I decided that I was no longer going to value myself based on titles and possessions. I just wanted Latiesha to be enough. However this is an “About Me” section so I have to share information with you so you can have an idea of who I am.
Professional Background: I enjoyed working contract from the very beginning of my career because I saw it as an opportunity to gain exposure to a variety of skills and environments. At the time working “freelance” wasn’t as popular as it is now. I constantly had people telling me I should create more security with a permanent job, but I am so glad I have a contract mentality because it has kept me sane in an industry that is known for laying people off. I have several years of accounting experience and I have worked for some well-known large corporations. I obtained my Texas real estate broker license in 2003 after being a licensed sales person from 1999-2003. I am a Mary Kay independent beauty consultant (2009- present; 1997-2004). I also held a Texas mortgage broker license from 1999 -2005. I graduated from Prairie View A&M University in 1999 with a Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Accounting.
Personal Profile: Dating was never a priority even though I wanted a relationship. I never wanted children so I never felt the burden of the infamous “biological time clock”. I seem to be living life in reverse. Instead of settling down as I am aging I am choosing to be flexible and go with the flow of wherever the universe takes me.

Living Dreams Joyfully: Having the courage and the confidence over the years to make CHOICES that brought me joy taught me a lot about myself and allowed me to create the life that I want on my terms. In 2012 I started working freelance consistently and taking breaks to travel. My Facebook friends thought I should start a travel blog, but my life is so much more complex than JUST travel. Family, friends, self-empowerment, personal finance (budgeting) and taking pictures of beautiful things are other interest that bring me joy. So instead of a travel blog I am creating this lifestyle blog that I hope inspires others to make life choices that allow them to create a path to Living Dreams Joyfully!
