Raised in Maryland, Lakita is the Founder/President of Mothers & Daughters United Worldwide, which fosters "Better Bonds Between Daughters and Moms through serving communities together".

She has a purpose to serve others through love, a passion to inspire the lost, and the heart of a philanthropist to give hope and help to the less fortunate.

Through personal challenges of abandonment, rejection, depression, disappointment, hurt, pain, and abuse, Lakita was in a place feeling alone, stuck, numb and paralyzed. After years of battling within, she began to seek God for direction and healing. This is when her life began to shift for the best. Lakita became a teacher of at-risk youth and went on a missionary assignment to Kenya, Africa which positioned her for the foundation of her vision to become an advocate for mother-daughter relationships, women, children, and families in need due to traumatic life altering circumstances.

Lakita is currently a Program Assistant for the Department of Homeland Security, Office of Intelligence and Analysis, with the responsibility to enhance the security of the aviation transportation system.

She was acknowledged in 2013 for exceptional service by House of Ruth, Maryland, for her annual Charity Pampering Event.

After over 15 years of serving the less fortunate in the local community and abroad through church activities, sorority functions, and personal projects, Lakita combined her passion, education, and experiences to create a charity based organization that provides direct services and caters to women, children, and families in need.
