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 proudly served on the Cleveland Community Police Commission, where she worked 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 served as the Region 3 Director for the Ohio Chapter of the National Association of Social Workers. 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. She currently serves as a National Delegate Assembly member for Ohio.
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. She is a restorative justice practitioner and trainer.
The staunch activist and Detroit native is currently based in Ohio and holds degrees from Michigan State University and Case Western Reserve University.
In 2019, Logan added the title of author to her already impressive resume with the release of The Case of the Brownie: Examining Aggression, Trauma and Apathy in Black Males and It’s Not About the Damn Brownie! Workbook, created to highlight how trauma is often mischaracterized and penalized in Black males.
Project LIFT serves as a prevention and social justice agency that provides behavioral health services to Black teens and fathers at risk of homelessness, economic instability, and incarceration to ensure they successfully transition into independence.
