We were lucky to catch up with Latisha Wells recently and have shared our conversation below.
LaTisha, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Let’s jump right into how you came up with the idea?
How I came up with this idea to be more of an asset in this journey in becoming an etiquette Coach, I was sitting in my apartment, on a blow up mattress, I had moved in not too long ago. While I was sitting on that blow up mattress, I felt in my Spirit to begin something that I was most passionate about, and create a movement with that passion, and change lives while doing this passion. But how the idea was truthfully formed, was through my then boyfriend, that is now my husband of three years now. When he said to me “I feel in my Spirit that I should plant a ministry, I immediately felt my Spirit intertwine with his. When he introduced that to me, I thought of how I grew up in a emotionally and mentally abusive household, but I realized during all of that abuse, I had something that was dear to my heart, that no one could ever take away from me. I began to feel overwhelmed with joy and a feeling came over me that I still can’t explain, but I know that was a touch from the Lord. I’ve always adored being feminine and soft, being a girl, being beautiful, and free. I knew that I wanted to teach other women that have been in broken homes, dealt with trauma, in abusive relationships, that “being feminine” was a God ordained gift that every woman should never stray away from. Once coming to that conclusion of what I sincerely wanted to invest in, I began right away. I knew this would be an endeavor that I saw myself doing for the right of my life, an endeavor that could become some one’s else freedom to be in tuned with their femininity.
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?
I am a mother to three amazing and beautiful princesses, that I adore so much. I’m a wife, a minister, a devoted Christian, I’m also a feminine etiquette Coach, that embodies femininity being feminine in all things that I do. I love writing and reading poetry books, my favorite hobbies are track and field, tennis and volleyball, I also adore nature in the summer and dancing. How I got into this endeavor that I am conquering, I first wanted to get more knowledge wisdom and understanding on my craft, so I attended classes/training on the topic of become an etiquette Coach at “International Association of Profession College’. That’s where I reached certification on how to properly learn professional etiquette. I definitely intend on critique my craft, because there’s more to etiquette than just setting up a table before you dine with colleagues. While I teach etiquette on social media, I relate toward topics such as “how to’s”, ministry and marriage, motherhood and relationships. I also offer etiquette coaching sessions as well to those that want to learn how to be feminine, how to get prepared for marriage, or if any one just needs to have a personal one-on-one session about certain struggles, we book sessions like that as well.
Learning and unlearning are both critical parts of growth – can you share a story of a time when you had to unlearn a lesson?
A lesson that I had to unlearn was realizing that “not everyone won’t accept me”. I went through many hard times in the past and also in my adult life, and those challenges became unknowingly a part of my character and the way that I would receive things. It seems as if the more that I went through character issues, and identity crisis, I felt the urge to get into a shell and stay there, until I felt like moving, and majority of those times, I would shift for months, because I would allow situations to have space in my mind. It took a while for me to come to conclusions that there are actually people in the world, that would want to build a relationship with me, chat with me, laugh with me, or even want to get to know me as a flawed but not perfect person. I always had this sense in my mind to keep myself guarded from hurt, although hurt has definitely been done to me, I had accepted that, but I also had to accept that everyone is not the same, and that there’s billions of people that are actually after God’s own heart for real.
Is there a particular goal or mission driving your creative journey?
Yes there is, it’s more so a mission that’s driving this creative journey. That mission is to “bring femininity back to the mind of her”. What I mean about bringing femininity back to the mind of her is, restore those femininity virtues that God placed on the inside of us. We as women have lost touch of being that Proverbs thirty one woman, how a proverb 31 woman ought to look, some of us have lost our inner Ruth’s and Naomi’s. We need to get back to a place where submission isn’t viewed as a weakness, but meekness instead. If we can get back to that place of loving ourselves then we’ll know how to properly love and respect those around us.
