Lataya B. Simpson is a wife, mother, pastor and a writer.
She is a native Houstonian and a graduate of Texas Southern University where she earned a degree in Journalism. From there, she set out with aspirations to become the next Barbara Walters. She began her career by working at a local news station in Houston, Texas, covering many high-profile cases from behind the scenes. In the excitement of it all, she learned that the world of “breaking news” was not all it was cracked up to be and changed paths. She continued pursuing her vocation in media through ministry and as a freelance media professional. After owning her own business as a freelancer, Lataya felt called to launch a networking agency of her own. In 2006 Lataya launched Christian Networking Group. Through it, Lataya has connected with thousands of people in the Houston area and around the world. Sharing her faith and passion for helping others be successful in life without losing their faith has been one of her greatest accomplishments. Christian Networking Group still exists today online and will one day return to in person events. In 2010 Lataya took a couple years off to focus on family. She and her husband Johnnie are the proud parents of 3 amazing children. In 2013 she wrote More Than Pretty: 7 Beauty Secrets that could change your life to inspire each reader to focus on character building and reflection. Through her own journey of personal development, Lataya decided to share the secrets that help improve "inner beauty" that makes us who we are. Since then she has gone on to earn a MDiv from SMU Perkins School of Theology. Rev. Lataya is now the Senior Pastor of St. Matthew's UMC in north Houston. |
