She grew up in the Southeast area of DC, living with
her mother. Due to her mother facing her own demons,
Lattice moved around a lot as well as grew up very quickly.
She did know her father but he was in/out her life. With
no guidance and feeling unloved, Lattice turned to the
streets, men, drugs and whatever she could think of to
survive. At the age of thirteen, she gave birth to her first
child D’Angelo. Being a teenage mother did come easy for
her, because she had a little brother she took care of before
she had her own. In her eyes she had two kids. In 2004,
she gave birth to her second son, D’Avoni.
Lattice attended Sousa Junior High School and that is where her love for journalism
grew. She had already vented her trials and tribulations in a journal, but at Sousa she
became apart of the Bobcat Newsletter. She learned that writing was a good outlet
for her as well as away to help others that has experienced her hurt and pain. With all
the downfalls Lattice has taken in her life, she managed to complete high school and
attended University of the District of Columbia for journalism. Due to life situation
Lattice dropped out of college, to get a job and help provide for her son and brother.
She later went to Career Technical Institute where she became a certified Medical
Office Administrative.view less
