Hello
I'm LaTuanya Drake, honored to serve as the Vice Chairperson for the Board of Directors at Black Rainbow Movement. As a proud mother and lesbian, my journey has been one of overcoming adversity and embracing authenticity.
Raised in a religious cult that stifled my identity and aspirations, I understand the profound impact of suppression and the yearning for freedom. My mission is to pave the way for a world where no one feels constrained by their circumstances, where every individual can thrive authentically.
My Story
My name is LaTuanya Drake, and my journey is one of resilience, creativity, and breaking free from the constraints of my past.
As a freelance photographer, I capture the beauty and essence of life through my lens, preserving moments that tell stories and evoke emotions. Photography is not just my profession; it's my way of expressing the world's vibrancy and diversity.
Under the stage name DJ LIPSTICK, I take to the turntables to curate beats that ignite energy and spark joy. Music has always been my refuge, and through DJing, I share that passion with others, creating spaces where people can dance, connect, and celebrate life.
My path to freedom hasn't been easy. I escaped an arranged marriage orchestrated by the religious cult I grew up in, breaking free from its suffocating grip to reclaim my autonomy and identity. This journey has taught me the power of resilience and the importance of fighting for one's own happiness and freedom.
Through my experiences, I've discovered strength in vulnerability and courage in authenticity. I'm committed to using my voice and talents to empower others to break free from oppression, embrace their truth, and live life on their own terms.
Join me as I continue to capture moments, spin beats, and inspire others to defy the odds and write their own stories of liberation and empowerment.
