YWTF-ATL Board Member Highlight: Lateefah Mosley

The Younger Women's Task Force Atlanta Metro Chapter proudly introduces board member Ms. Lateefah Mosley.



Ms. Mosley, a native of South Carolina, moved to Atlanta Georgia in August 2006 to begin working for the Global Immunization Division of the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention.

As a Public Health Analyst, Lateefah implements the Stop Transmission of Polio (STOP) program were she recruits, train, and supervise consultants during their 3- month field assignment around the world. She also has traveled to Tanzania, Nigeria, and Kenya to provide technical support to the World Health Organization and national ministries of health to supervise and monitor the implementation of vaccination campaigns. Committed to making a difference in communities around the world, Lateefah lives by the quote from Henri-Frederic Amiel, "In health there is freedom. Health is the first of all liberties".

How did she first learn about YWTF?

"I met Terica Scott, founder of YWTF ATL, at a holiday party hosted by a mutual friend. The following week we had lunch and Terica told me of the organization. This was heaven sent, as I always am looking for ways to be of services to women in my community. I was excited about starting this new venture as a board director for YWTF Atlanta" Lateefah said.

Lateefah serves as the Membership and Outreach Director for YWTF Atlanta and is responsible for actively recruiting, developing, and retaining membership for YWTF-ATL through strategic outreach efforts. Since joining YWTF-ATL in January 2010, she has played a major part in executing the First Annual A.S.C.E.N.D. Leadership Conference and coming up with creative ways to reach out to other women in the Atlanta area.

YWTF-ATL is honored to have Lateefah as a part of our family and a member on our board of directors.

A Journey of a Thousand Sisters

By Natasha L. Foreman, MBA

Author and Women for Women International supporter, Lisa Shannon has released her new award-winning book, A Thousand Sisters, in paperback. The book chronicles Lisa’s transformation from mere supporter to leader of a mass movement for Congolese women; as it shares stories of the world's deadliest war and crimes committed against women in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC).

Lisa’s book captures the essence of why the DRC has been noted as what she calls, “…the worst place on Earth to be a woman” as well as the heart-touching accounts of friendship and bonds formed through a shared struggle for respect, dignity, freedom, independence, and equal rights.

The paperback version has a new epilogue as well as a guide for book clubs which would be perfect for YWTF chapters to consider for an upcoming book club selection. To learn more about the book and Lisa Shannon click here.  To purchase the book visit: A Thousand Sisters

Read Lisa’s story and then think of ways you can help women domestically and abroad so that you can do your part to help heal the wounds and eliminate violence against women of all ages.

Leadership Defined

By Natasha L. Foreman, MBA

Leadership should be born out of the understanding of the

needs of those who would be affected by it.

~Marian Anderson

Photo Credit: acacialeadership.com

Marian Anderson’s quote is so deep yet simple. You need to know where you want to go, recognize and determine how best to use the resources that are made available to you; equip those who follow you with the tools needed to build and help support your vision and mission; and understand the needs of every single person who will be affected by your reign of leadership. If you merely seek to lead for self-serving reasons you will find yourself carrying your own banner with no one behind you.
