HELLO! MY NAME IS LATOYA A. BLISSETT. I AM THE CEO OF LCG DISPATCHING LLC WHICH I ESTABLIISHED IN 2021. I AM ALSO THE FOUNDER OF BIG FYNE COLLECTION, ONLINE CLOTHING BOUTIQUE THAT LAUNCHED IN 2021 AS WELL. I AM A MENTOR AND MOTIVATIONAL SPEAKER.

LET'S LEARN A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME AND MY BACKGROUND. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 5 CHILDREN (4 BOYS, 1 GIRL). I GRADUATED FROM RULEVILLE CENTRAL HIGH SCHOOL IN 2003. I ATTENDED A COMMUNITY COLLEGE SHORTLY AFTER RECEIVING MY HS DIPLOMA BUT DID NOT GRADUATE. AT THE TIME I WAS STRUGGLING BETWEEN WORKING AND ATTENDING SCHOOL. IT CAME TO A POINT WHERE I HAD TO CHOOSE, SO I CHOSE THE JOB BECAUSE I HAD CHILDREN

IN 2008, I LOST THE FATHER OF MY CHILDREN TO GUN VIOLENCE. I WAS LEFT TO RAISE 5 CHILDREN BY MYSELF. AFTER YEARS OF BEING A CERTIFIED NURSING ASSISTANT, I DECIDED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. I STEPPED INTO THE WORLD OF MANUFACTURING AND I SPENT SO MANY YEARS UNHAPPY. I KNEW THERE HAD TO BE SOMETHING BETTER FOR ME, SO I WENT FOR IT.

IN 2020, MY DAUGHTER LAUCHED HER ONLINE BOUTIQUE WHICH GAVE ME THE IDEA OF FULFILLING MY PASSION. SHORTLY AFTER THE LAUNCH OF HERS, I LAUNCHED BIG FYNE COLLECTION WITH THE PLAN TO PARTNERSHIP WITH HER IN 2022. UNFORTUNATELY, MY DAUGHTER WAS MURDERED JUNE 2021. AT THAT MIOMENT I HAD GIVEN UP ON EVERYTHING. AFTER FASTING AND PRAYING, I DECIDED TO GET BACK IN GEAR. I USED MY FRUSTRATION AND ANGER TO PUSH ME HARDER. IN HONOR OF MY BELOVED DAUGHTER, I NAMED MY DISPATCHING COMPANY AFTER HER.

DEALING WITH ADVERSITY WAS MY BIGGEST FACTOR. MY RESILIENCE INSPIRED MANY PEOPLE AROUND THE WORD,
