LaTasha Price
Raised in Lynchburg, Virginia, LaTasha was born into a community and system of advocacy for those in need of support, encouragement, and articulation. LaTasha’s service as an Artist Educator follows in the steps of both grandmothers: who taught the community, provided needed services to women, and used her artistry to provide joy, praise, remembrance, and uplift. As a veteran educator with over 20 years of experience, LaTasha’s career was launched with an intention of honoring students’ own voices, instincts, and propensity for fun in their learning. Last year, those proclivities were honored and celebrated as she was awarded the Innovation in Teaching Grant for creating and producing and integrative and fun math learning program for the college. LaTasha is a doctoral candidate in the Language and Literacy Education PhD program at UGA, where her dissertation focuses on the literacy of Black girls’ hip hop dance. LaTasha is an ardent advocate of arts-based research, especially research inclusive of hip hop literacies. She is currently an editor of the Poetry, Fiction, and Visual Arts Section of UGA’s Journal of Language and Literacy Education (JoLLE). There, she has been able to promote the necessity of arts-based research and its equivalence with standardized forms of research representation. As a youth, LaTasha canvassed various neighborhoods in her city to get people registered to vote and activate their citizenry. She continues to fulfill those goals today in her partnership with 9 to 5GA, where her children, Genesis (16), Wisdom (12), and Zion (3) learn first-hand the value of civil citizenship and the value of togetherness.
