FAMILY MATTERS.
Ronald and Latasha are passionate, bold, spirit-filled leaders that believe in Conservative Biblical principles. First and foremost, they believe parents have the ultimate responsibility to train up, direct their children’s lives, and diligently teach them according to Proverbs 22:6 and Deuteronomy 6.
In this, they believe that it’s incumbent on all individuals to hold in high regard their historical plight and the values that build strong parental guidance, encourage thriving communities, and teach children their true disposition.

For over 15 years, Latasha has been an outspoken critic of the one-size-fits-all public school system, railing against its' propensity to usurp parental authority and to sexualize and indoctrinate impressionable children with radical racial and Marxist ideologies. Latasha echoes the great work of Booker T. Washington that "education is not a thing apart from life—not a 'system,' nor a philosophy; it is direct teaching how to live and how to work."
She gave her personal testimony of perseverance to the Congressional House Committee on the Budget: "Poverty in America: Economic Realities of Struggling Families." In addition, her opinion piece, "God, Parents, and the ‘1619 Project'" featured in the Wall Street Journal, gives more insight into her underlying message of autonomy.

Latasha has also appeared on Fox and Friends, Newsmax, and C-SPAN, as well as many other podcasts and outlets, discussing Christian education, homeschooling, economic empowerment, the importance of the divine family structure; and the erosion of Biblical conservative values, especially in the black community to the present day.
