Latoya was living in a hotel with her daughter, son, and ill mom before she came to Goodwill. “I was looking for a steady job,” Latoya said. “I hated floating around.”

In September 2016, Latoya accepted a position as part-time employee at Goodwill. After saving her first few paychecks, Latoya and her family moved into an apartment. In six months, she was promoted to team lead, where she was preparing to enter Goodwill’s Retail Employee Advancement Training (GREAT) program. However, a different opportunity came her way, and she earned a store manager position at the Central City Goodwill. The promotion helped her save enough money to rent a home.

Since managing her own store, Latoya has achieved “The Store of Excellence” and “Fab Five Manager” Awards, which Goodwill utilizes internally to recognize its top statewide performers.

Latoya also works with her Goodwill career coach, Margie, to set and accomplish goals. “Margie has helped me with everything. She motivates me, and I have accomplished things I never thought I could.”

To that, Margie replied, “Latoya is humble and gracious. She’s a ray of life.”
