ABOUT LATONIA

When some of us think of our childhoods, we remember beloved pets, surprise birthday parties, and shopping trips.  When LaTonia “Tonia” Tyner remembers her childhood and early teenage years, she remembers mental and physical abuse, grueling summers working in the cotton fields, and being poor.  By the time she became a teenager, she had been through more tragedies than some people see in a lifetime.  Despite all the hardships and struggles, Tonia, who is affectionately called “TT” by her friends, dreamed of days where life would be better.  

Better is a state of being more effective or favorable; of a higher standard; or to improve a situation, condition or person.

Better came for Tonia in her early 20’s, when she left to start her own home and family.  Even though she became a Christian at an early age, she didn’t realize at the time that what she was relying upon to achieve a better life was called “faith.”  What she knew was if she remained determined and resilient, to get back up no matter what happened to her, that she would be successful.  She would one day own her own house, be financially prosperous, and provide her three sons with the type of childhood that she could only dream of. 

Tonia had a deep rooted belief that where she was in life was not all that there was to life. She believed in an existence beyond what she could see. She knew that there had to be a life where she was free to be the person she was created to be; a better life that existed of spiritual wellness, healthy relationships, financial stability and a successful career. Most importantly, she desired to have the better that she did not have in her past: peace, joy, love, strength and hope!

Today, Tonia is by definition a successful woman.  She has accomplished her earlier definition of success, and she has done so much more.  She is a woman who loves God and a serial entrepreneur who has a thriving accounting firm and an inspirational and empowerment brand.  If that weren’t enough, she is a business financial coach and a fitness coach.  She is truly a “TT” her friends say—a triple threat.  She is tearing down poverty, turning inability into ability, and thriving instead of just surviving. 

Latonia has positively impacted my life with her consistency in life circumstances, confidence in God and herself, and her subtle yet bold demeanor! Her words are authoritative, assertive, and they propel you to move forward and shape your perspective. I will never forget when Latonia said to me, “Everyone does not deserve access to you!" I learned from that statement that my time, my heart, and presence have value and anything that costs me my peace; let it go!

FAMILY FIRST

Being a wife, mother, and Gigi are my most rewarding roles. I have been the helpmeet to my loving husband Ebenezer (E.B.) Tyner for 18 years. We have a blended family of 5 children (1 daughter and 4 sons) and 5 beautiful grandchildren. Sometimes, I have a difficult time balancing my family life and my career, but I have learned that I must stay committed to carving out time for both.  I stay committed to having a date night with my husband; Sunday dinners with the children; and play dates with the grands so that I can still get my Gigi bear hugs. My career also gets committed time, but maintaining time for loved ones helps to keep me grounded. Those are the moments that fill my heart with joy.

STRONG FAITH FOUNDATION

I was introduced to God at an early age. I grew up acquainted with Him, but it has been my life journey that has built my relationship with Him. Tragedies and the feeling of being beat up by life pushed me closer to God. As I began to draw closer to God, a few things happened: I learned just how much He loves me; I discovered my true identity; and I recognized that real strength comes from Him. I began to trust His word and believe His promises, and before long, I was walking by faith! Now, I hunger for His presence, and I pursue His purpose and will for my life. I confidently move through life Built God Strong!

FIT & STRONG

I absolutely love to work out, and my favorite exercise is weightlifting. Five to six days a week, I join my sisterhood squad on Zoom for our morning workout. After prayer, it is the stress reliever that I use to start my day. My friends are quick to note that I have the physical fitness of a woman half my age. And while I love the strength I gain as the result of weightlifting, my goal is to be in optimal health: mind, body, and spirit. I dare not try to maneuver through life being physically strong but mentally and spiritually weak.

BLOGGER

My blogs are just me writing out my own heart notes and my journey, in hopes of empowering other women to walk out the process of healing, self-discovery, and rebuilding for themselves. I get to share my experiences and my testimony with you, here in this space. I feel so honored when someone says that my testimony helped.

BUSINESS OWNER

I can’t say that I ever dreamed of owning my own business, but today, I am a serial entrepreneur. Currently, I own Executively You, LLC (accounting services); The Selvy-Tyner Group, LLC (holding company); and Built God Strong Unlimited, LLC (empowerment and wellness). I am also the Dean of Financial Studies and Management with Kittrell College and North Carolina University and Seminary. When you believe in who God says you are and you walk in your gifts, there is no limit to the things that you can accomplish.

SHE IS BUILT GOD STRONG

Wow!  What a powerhouse!  Mrs. Tyner spoke at two major events that I sponsored, and she was absolutely wonderful.  She was the keynote speaker at a collegiate motivational conference, and she inspired, motivated, and encouraged the audience, especially the students.  She was also personable and approachable, which made her speech and visit even more impactful.  I highly recommend her for any event or coaching.

Thank you so much for the invite to the Jumping Jane event. It was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING and just what I needed. The event was a true blessing indeed, and Ms. Tyner gave me some great motivational quotes. "Be you!"  "Don't give up on your dreams and goals!"  I loved her testimony and how she overcame so many obstacles.
