About
Hello, I am Latarsha Lytle
I am a proud African American woman in tech - a field that is defining where our world is going, and how the human experience will be shaped for generations to come.
I am also much more, I am a creative, a storyteller, a mentor, speaker and an encourager, and a coach to women and girls - encouraging them to understand, develop and give a voice to
An An Illustrator . . .
I love the experimentation that comes with the collage process, where I explore movement, texture, nature, and relationships. I infuse my illustrations with suspense, keeping readers engaged and eager to discover what lies ahead. These elements breathe life into the pages and enhance the overall reading experience.
The Impact I Want To Make . . .
I’m a picture book author illustrator working on picture book projects that celebrate girls in STEM who are diverse, creative, innovative and full of life. By introducing brown and diverse characters I will be able to use my author/illustrator voice to encourage more girls to at least begin to consider (and understand) technology and the power of using one’s voice and innovation to influence the world - both where it is and where it’s headed.
I have a Chemical Engineering and IT background with a Bachelors in Environmental Analysis and Design along with two Masters Degrees - one a MBA with IT emphasis and the other in Marketing with a Strategy emphasis. I have worked in many cybersecurity companies such as McAfee, Cisco, and Duo. I currently work as a Business Intelligence Manager for the Society of Petroleum Engineers.
As A Writer . . .
My writing spans multiple age ranges - from PB through YA, and across both fiction and non-fiction genres, celebrating characters who possess creativity, innovation, patience, wit, resilience, and drive.
I write stories of individuals who possess an unwavering determination to share their innermost gifts with the world, leaving behind a mark that will endure through time.
