Lateefah’s mission is to educate and inspire humanity through the performing arts. A creative soul from the beginning, her passion for artistry started long before she attended UNC Greensboro to pursue a bachelors degree in dance and communications. After experiencing the tragic loss of a close loved one she coped with her grief by becoming the CEO and founder of Kayos dance ensemble, which made its debut at the Triad Theater in New York, NY 2009. Shortly after Lateefah closed the company due to a dance injury.
With a physical ailment, financial hardship and no stable place to reside Lateefah’s dance career was fading. In a rush to find a source of income aligned with her talent and skills she received her AFAA certification and became a group dance instructor for NYSC. She also began teaching at various studios throughout New York and choreographed routines for independent musicians but, when her class schedule was reduced and the Roy Arias Dance studio closed, she was forced to redirect her focus.
After successfully trying her hand as a model then a brand ambassador she crashed a theater audition for an off Broadway musical, where she discovered her love for acting. Lateefah was hooked! With no theatrical training, or representation at the time, she was cast in various national television shows and creative productions. From then on the TV/Film chapter of her career was open.
When Lateefah is not in front of the camera she is ziplining in Antigua, parasailing over the caribbean sea, traveling and creating unforgettable memories with family and friends.
