Meet Latia Parker

We were lucky to catch up with Latia Parker recently and have shared our conversation below.

Hi Latia , really happy you were able to join us today and we’re looking forward to sharing your story and insights with our readers. Let’s start with the heart of it all – purpose. How did you find your purpose?
To be honest, it seems that I have discovered my purpose rather than actively seeking it. It all began when the responsibility of caring for my father was placed upon me. In 2020, he received a cancer diagnosis. During that time, it became clear to me that this marked the beginning of my personal journey. My main goal was to provide assistance and support to individuals and their families who are impacted by cancer. The ultimate objective is to meet the needs of the oncology community. Having gone through the experience of caring for my father, I now strongly prioritize assisting individuals affected by cancer by offering various resources and promoting natural methods of healing the mind, body and soul.

Thanks, so before we move on maybe you can share a bit more about yourself?
Latia M. Parker is known as the host of the Gallantry Room Podcast, a platform that aims to inspire, inform, and uplift caregivers and individuals affected by cancer. Furthermore, she is the proprietor of the Oncology Spa by CPC, where she offers a range of therapeutic services and experiences. Additionally, she currently serves as the Executive Director/Founder of the Curtis P. Crowner Foundation, Inc.

In 2021, the Curtis P. Crowner Foundation was established with the purpose of offering support and resources to individuals affected by cancer. Our foundation is devoted to helping those in need by addressing their financial, spiritual, and emotional requirements.

The Gallantry Room Podcast, a platform where individuals can graciously share their unique stories and personal journeys. I firmly believe that our audience will find comfort in listening to stories that embody shared experiences and themes. Additionally, they will gain meaningful insights and valuable lessons from these narratives, inspiring them to persevere and cultivate confidence. The courage displayed in The Gallantry Room Podcast’s stories will undoubtedly serve as a great source of inspiration.

The Oncology Spa by CPC is an establishment that specializes in offering therapeutic experiences to individuals affected by cancer. I am filled with enthusiasm to offer these services due to a personal experience. My father was diagnosed with cancer, and witnessing this firsthand made me recognize the significance and necessity of natural healing for the overall well-being of one’s mind, body, and soul. This presents an opportunity for individuals affected by cancer to experience feelings of peace and compassion through the sense of touch. Moreover, it can significantly improve their quality of life during the challenging period of undergoing chemotherapy and radiation treatment.

Looking back, what do you think were the three qualities, skills, or areas of knowledge that were most impactful in your journey? What advice do you have for folks who are early in their journey in terms of how they can best develop or improve on these?
The qualities that have had the most significant impact on my life are faith, perseverance, humility, and courage. I firmly believe that possessing these traits has enabled me to achieve numerous goals that I never thought possible. It bestowed upon me the fortitude necessary to persevere and exert continuous effort. I was keenly aware that my attentiveness was on the broader scope, recognizing that this endeavor extended beyond my own self-interests to encompass those individuals who were most in need of assistance. I would recommend to those who are embarking on their journey that the starting point is not of utmost importance, but rather the ultimate destination. Our presence on earth serves a purpose, one of which is to express love and compassion towards our neighbor as we do towards ourselves. Choosing not to quit is imperative, as there are individuals who are connected to your purpose, much like you are connected to someone else. It is crucial to consistently maintain focus on the broader objectives and strive towards achieving them.

One of our goals is to help like-minded folks with similar goals connect and so before we go we want to ask if you are looking to partner or collab with others – and if so, what would make the ideal collaborator or partner?
I am seeking collaborative partnerships with oncologists who are actively seeking innovative approaches to enhance the healing process of their clients.
