Liberation Coach. Speaker. Sacred Disruptor.
Meet Latoya De’Shaun
I’m not here to make you feel good. I’m here to help you get free.
I’m Latoya De’Shaun, Liberation Coach, speaker, and founder of The Patent Leather Project. I help high-achieving Black women break free from self-abandonment, burnout, and people-pleasing, guiding them into self-possession, spiritual alignment, and unapologetic purpose.
I don’t coddle. I coach. My spaces are sacred interruptions: honest, healing, and activating. Whether I’m on stage or leading a workshop, you’re not booking inspiration. You’re booking transformation.
🎙️ Keynote Option
"It’s the Discomfort for You"
The courage to stop performing and start living on purpose.
Format: 20–40 minutes | In-person or virtual
Focus: Identity reorientation + spiritual clarity + courageous action
Description:
This is a spiritual wake-up call. I name the fears, roles, and performance patterns that fracture identity and keep high-achieving Black women in survival mode. Then I walk the room back to who God says they are—so they stop performing for approval and start moving on purpose without guilt, apology, or perfection.
Outcomes:
- Identity clarity: Replace false roles with God-given identity.
- Alignment: Recognize when “peacekeeping” is really self-abandonment—and stop it.
- Activation: A faith-rooted framework to move from performance to purpose, now.
Investment: Starting at $5,000.
🎤 Signature Workshop
"Get Clear or Stay Stuck"
A sacred interruption for women who are done performing peace.
Format: 90 minutes–2 hours (customizable) | In-person or virtual
Focus: Identity reclamation + community coaching + next-step strategy
Description:
This isn’t feel-good. It’s a sacred interruption. We dismantle false identities formed by guilt, people-pleasing, and spiritual disconnect. Through targeted coaching and guided reflection, women reclaim their identity and map the first bold steps of intentional action—no performance required.
Core Outcomes:
- Reclaim: Name and break patterns of self-abandonment and invisible emotional labor.
- Re-align: Anchor to spiritual truth and non-negotiable values that define who you are.
- Release & Move: Leave with identity-aligned language, boundaries, and a clear 7-day action plan.
Investment: Starting at $7,000.
🎤 Speaking + Workshop
Pain Unheard, Strength Unmatched
Reclaiming Life Beyond Pelvic Pain
Format: Keynote 20–40 minutes or Workshop 90 minutes–2 hours | In-person or virtual
Focus: Identity beyond pain + health advocacy + spiritual resilience
Description:
For Black women living with reproductive health challenges (endometriosis, fibroids, chronic pelvic pain), this offering restores identity beyond diagnosis. I share my journey, teach confident self-advocacy, and ground women in practices that protect their spirit, body, and voice—so pain no longer defines who they are or how they move.
Core Outcomes:
- Identity beyond illness: Separate your identity from your symptoms and story.
- Advocacy with authority: Scripts, questions, and strategies to navigate care without shrinking.
- Whole-person care: Faith-rooted routines for nervous-system calm, boundaries, and sustainable support.
Investment: Keynote starting at $5,000 | Workshop starting at $7,000.
