Latoya Lashay Irwin was born October 28th, 1974. To the parents of Phillip Irwin and Michelle Harrison. She has been born and raised on the west side of Chicago, IL. Latoya has a younger brother named Devin Harrison. Growing up, these two were inseparable. Devin loved being in the company of his older sister. As she got older and was able to watch her little brother on her own, she would bring him around her friends, take him to the store, and other things just for them to bond. Up until 2015 Latoya only had four children, in 2015 she added a new addition to her family. To her, her family is now complete. Her children names are Ivy Irwin, Taron Jones, Taylor Jones, Zari Jones, and Kennedy Perry. There is a big age difference from the last baby to the new baby boy. The age difference is 15 years and she love it even though there is a big age difference.

Latoya went to Holy Name Cathedral high school, were she graduate in the top 5 of her graduating class. She always had the dream of going away to school, but never got to fulfill that dream. She had plans to go away to school, but in the summer of in 1992, Latoya was blessed with her first and oldest daughter. Changing her plans of going away to school, to staying in Chicago. The only reason she stayed is because she needed support as a young mother from her family. While staying home she took a few years off from school to focus on her beautiful baby girl, Ivy Irwin. During the time, she worked and supported her baby girl with the help from her family. After a couple years she went to back to college, where she attended Roosevelt University. During her term in undergrad she had her first baby boy, Taron Jones. Eventually, she was content for a while. Until she wanted another baby. Three years after having Taron, she had Taylor Jones. Then following Taylor, a year later she had Zari. Latoya was a single mother, who tried to make sure her kids always had the best. Approximately seven years after having Zari, she decided to go back to school to get her Master’s. She attended Chicago State University to achieve her master’s degree in elementary education. After completing grad school, she was extremely happy, because now she was able to do more for her children and buy them more things that they wanted than in the past.

Latoya was finally happy that she had a great achievement, but something was still missing. She still wanted more. In 2011 she found, her now husband, Kenneth Perry. Where they dated for a couple years, until Kenneth Perry proposed, and she said yes. This made her so happy. At this point she felt like she had it all. A loving husband, great kids, and a great job. In 2012, God added a new addition to her family. A beautiful baby boy Kennedy Perry. This was the ultimate shock, because of the age difference from Zari to Kennedy. But it didn’t change anything major. The only that happened was the amount of love and joy Kennedy brings with his presence. A year after having Kennedy she decided to go back to school and get her PhD in early childhood. She now attends Argosy University and is expected to graduate in May 2020. When she graduates in May 2020, she feels like she will have accomplished everything she wants. In May 2020, she will have the highest education in her career, a loving husband who supports her, five beautiful children who are all attending school or working, and a wonderful support system around her. Latoya will be content with life when she crosses the stay in a couple years. Latoya favorite quote of all time is, “Put God first, without him it is impossible.” This is the quote she lives by and will continue to live by until she is no longer able to be on earth.
