About me
La Tanya has worked in human services for over 20 years, managing, coordinating and creating programming for Black and brown communities of King County. She has worked in mainstream domestic violence agencies for 8 years, AA women and churches on breast and cervical health and screenings, STD/HIV/AIDS counseling, testing and referrals, and even volunteered as a Red Cross HIV/AIDS/blood borne pathogen trainer, and sat on the Black Leadership Council on HIV. She founded the Silent Task Force in 2009, when four AA advocates from mainstream agencies across the country came together to find a way to close some of the gaps around domestic violence in the Black community. Today, the Silent Task Force serves our youth and families on multiple levels from job readiness, case management, basic needs, mentoring, support groups for boys and girls, food security and so much more.
