We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Lanta Burnette. We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Lanta below.
Lanta, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. We’d love to have you retell us the story behind how you came up with the idea for your business, I think our audience would really enjoy hearing the backstory.
Having experienced immense heartache and heartbreak over the years, I was burdened with deep- seated pain. After a six-and-a-half-year relationship ended in failure, I resisted the urge to write my first novel, despite God”s clear prompting. Nevertheless, a prophetic message from a minister at a women’s ministry gathering revealed that my hands were destined to be a blessing to others. Although the prophecy’s meaning eluded me initially, the COVID-19 pandemic provided a unique opportunity for me to focus on writing my first book, ‘ I Cried in Silence’. This book sought to empower others to courageously share their stories. As I wrote, God meticulously removed the hurt, guilt, and hatred that had accumulated my heart. The book was rooted in a true story. At my book signing event, the minister who had spoken over me reminded me of her prophecy, and it was then that I grasped its full significance. Many women contacted me, praising my courage and sharing their own stories of overcoming challenges. The process of writing this book was profoundly therapeutic for me.
My passion for writing has grown exponentially, beginning with the composition of stage plays. As my creative ambitions expanded, I transitioned into writing and producing short films, several of which are publicly available on YouTube. The establishment of LanB Enterprises Inc. marked a significant milestone, as it enabled me to tap into the vast reservoir of talent in Montgomery, Alabama, and surrounding areas. By extending opportunities to local actors, I aim to radiate positivity throughout the city, while inspiring young individuals to redirect their energies toward realizing their aspirations, rather than engaging in violence. A notable aspect of my business is that it is entirely self-funded, relying solely on my personal financial resources. The overarching theme of my films revolves around breaking generational curses within realistic frameworks. I eagerly anticipate the forthcoming release of HouseHusbands of Montgomery, Alabama on Tubi TV. My ultimate objective remains centered on enriching the lives of community members.
