Business Leader and Author Spearheads Efforts to Feed Thousands Over Thanksgiving Holiday

DURHAM, N.C. - Nov. 6, 2014 - PRLog -- La'Ticia Nicole Beatty a Detroit native may have begun her residency in North Carolina in 1992, with $15.00, four outfits and a dream at Livingstone College, but what could not be foreseen at the time was her evolution to become a business leader and philanthropist.

Beatty who is an executive director of a senior healthcare facility, is also an evangelist, author, motivational speaker and founder of the non-profit organization, Professional Divas, Inc.  In 2013, she describes a vision she had to feed 1,000 families from Durham, NC to other cities across the country during the Thanksgiving holiday. "The purpose of my Professional Divas organization is to provide our members with opportunities to serve others. When I expressed what I wanted to do, the word spread, and friends of mine in other states wanted to join in. We were able to provide food for 2,500 families, instead of the planned 1,000!"

Now Beatty and her organization, along with friends in Springfield, MA-Ayanna Crawford; Atlanta, GA-Chandra Southern; Detroit, MI-Ronneshia Carter; Winston-Salem, NC-Keya Jemmeh; Raleigh, NC-Kim Sessoms; Greensboro, NC-Alana Allen; Washington, DC-Trevor Otts; Junctionville, KS-Tamica Jones; Charlotte, NC-RoCarol Manning; and in Colorado Springs, CO-Carbella Cheek, will join forces collectively on November 22, 2014 to provide food for families in need.

"Each city joining in this effort with Professional Divas, Inc., has a leader. Here in Durham, NC, our focus will be on the Cornwallis Apartments, where we will be providing food for its 200 residents. In Detroit, MI the leader Ronneshia Granger will decide what area of the city that they will target, and likewise with our other partners," states Beatty.

In order to fulfill its mission, Beatty has an Eventbrite site set up so that monetary donations can be made to the Thanksgiving "Feed 1,000 Families" event. Visit www.Thanksgivingblessings.eventbrite.com to donate. All donations are tax deductible.
