ABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: Mrs. Latoya, who has been a homeschooler of two for the past six years, has previously worked in the insurance industry and did a little freelance writing on the side. Latoya's educational journey consists of a BA in Advertising from the University of South Carolina's School of Journalism and Mass Communication with a minor in Marketing. In 2009, she received her MBA from South University. Now, that she is eagerly in the throes of preparing her children to be future leaders, you will probably catch her curled up reading a good book during the little leisure time she is afforded. Inspired by conversations with her own daughter, Latoya recognized the need for guidance in navigating teen and young adult relationships. After two years of research, she developed Relationships 101, a comprehensive curriculum to provide students with answers to their questions and empower them to build healthy relationships.
