Latanya Devaughn is a mother of 3 and the Founder of Bronx Bound Books - a bookstore on wheels & community hub that aims to leave no community behind as it travels throughout the borough--especially to neighborhoods where access and transportation pose barriers . A lifelong resident of the Bronx, Latanya is shunning the brick-and-mortar model and taking her bookstore to the people. Latanya has a background in human resources, business management and community arts and engagement. Combining her love for community, the Bronx, and her skills in management, Latanya is actualizing her dream. As she puts it, “Every neighborhood in The Bronx deserves a bookstore, even if it’s just for one day”. This episode is such a gift. For one, it's Black History Month and me and this guest are #WellReadBlackGirls✊🏾. Latanya shares why her aunt refers to her as a "serial job hopper" and that treated jobs like Tinder. You will not swipe left for this one! I am so honored to round out our first 40 paying homage to the borough is dear to my heart. Sharing in that connection, Latanya speaks to the importance of community in actualizing her vision and furthering its implementation. We learn how she moved from a place of comfortability for change to occur in her pursuits. The pandemic, as challenging as it has been, provided an opportunity for her to grow into her purpose. We also hear how Latanya is connecting her work with those who have been formerly incarcerated; books serve as an anchor for greater community and relationship-building. For those at a crossroads with the "how" in their "why", Latanya shares wisdom that will aid in your journey.  We turn the page in our book of dreams and make it come to fruition in community as we share Forward 4O’s platform with this phenomenal WOC in the nonprofit and social enterprise sector.
