About LaToya:

An astute catalyst for change who is unwavering in her pursuit of equality for Black men, LaToya Logan is the founder and executive director of Project LIFT, a social justice and prevention agency. Throughout her career as a clinical social worker (LISW-S), LaToya has continuously demonstrated her commitment to advocacy and community education initiatives across the state of Ohio.

Specializing in trauma, cultural inclusivity, and recovery practices to foster sustained independence, LaToya uses innovative strategies to circumvent obstacles such as incarceration, homelessness, and mental instability related to communal and institutionalized dysfunction.

Following the formation of Project LIFT in 2016, Logan also proudly serves on the Cleveland Community Police Commission, where she is actively working towards police reform with a clear focus on accountability and transformational change. As Commissioner, the twice-elected co-chair also serves on the Accountability Committee and is the training review liaison to the Cleveland Division of Police.

Additionally, LaToya has served as the Region 3 Director for the Ohio Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers since 2017. As Regional Director, she is actively working to ensure that racial trauma is appropriately addressed and ultimately eradicated by implementing tangible practices that address racism’s historical and current role within the behavioral health field.

LaToya is also a certified Anti-Oppressive Informed Practitioner, specializing in the use of services and training to deconstruct norms that disempower historically disenfranchised populations.

The staunch activist and Detroit native is currently based in Ohio and holds degrees from Michigan State University and Case Western Reserve University.
