She was here before the title. Parent Villages is proud to announce LaTasha Monroe as President of the Board of Directors.
Many may already know LaTasha as the writer of “All Children,” the Parent Villages theme song. But her connection to Parent Villages reaches back to its earliest days, with years of service both behind the scenes and in leadership, including serving as Vice President, supporting programs and events, and advocating alongside families navigating the special education process.
Her leadership is grounded in more than 20 years of work with young people and communities, a decade as a K–8 educator, a Bachelor of Science in Human Services from Springfield College, and a Master of Education from Elizabeth City State University.
LaTasha is also Co-Founder of Counted Me Out Productions and Chef Up North, and creator of No Ghostwriter Needed!!!, a hip-hop and ELA program connecting culture, literacy, and youth voice.
For years, she has been comfortable contributing without being at the center of the story.
Today, she steps forward.
Not as someone newly arriving, but as someone who has been part of the work, the growth, and the village for years. As President, LaTasha will bring that same commitment into this next chapter. Working alongside the Board and organizational leadership to strengthen Parent Villages, protect its mission, and help guide the organization forward.
The Village Continues — because the next generation still needs a village.
