Latisha Richardson As Cover Story Interview – September 2026 Magazine Edition

How do you introduce yourself?

My name is Latisha Richardson, also known as Serenity Luv. I am an author, entrepreneur, mental health advocate, recording artist, and creative visionary. I am the founder of Ahealthynewu LLC, a mental health awareness brand, and the creator of The Pieces of Me to Serenity Story.

Through my music, writing, and now Serenity Luv Radio, I use my experiences to encourage people to embrace who they are, heal from what they have been through, and understand that their broken pieces do not make them less valuable. They are part of what makes their story powerful.

Struggle – What hardships have you gone through in life?

Life has taken me through some difficult seasons. I have experienced personal struggles, emotional pain, health challenges, and moments when I had to find the strength to keep going even when I did not feel strong.

I have also faced the challenges that come with leaving a corporate career and building a business of my own. There have been moments of uncertainty, but I have learned that difficult seasons do not have to define the rest of your life.

My struggles are a major part of why mental health awareness is so important to me. I know what it feels like to need encouragement, and I want to be that encouragement for someone else.

What do people usually not know about you?

People often see the entrepreneur, the artist, and the person who is always creating, but they may not realize how much of my work comes from my own experiences.

I am someone who feels deeply, and I believe that is one of my greatest strengths. I have learned to turn things I have been through into something meaningful, whether that is a song, a book, a conversation, or a message that helps someone else.

I am also still growing and learning. I do not have every answer, but I believe in being honest about the journey.

What sets you apart from others?

What sets me apart is that I do not believe I have to choose just one way to make an impact.

I bring together mental health awareness, music, writing, entrepreneurship, and meaningful conversations. Through Ahealthynewu LLC, I focus on helping people prioritize their mental well-being. Through my music and books, I share pieces of my story. Through Serenity Luv Radio, I am creating a space where artists, poets, and creatives can be heard and appreciated.

I am not just building a brand. I am building something that comes from my heart. My goal is to remind people that they can be more than what they have been through.

What are your upcoming major events?

One of my biggest current projects is Serenity Luv Radio, which I am building as a platform for real music, meaningful conversations, and opportunities for artists and poets to be heard.

I am also continuing to promote my music and my album, The Pieces of Me to Serenity Story, while working on new creative projects.

Through my work, I am looking forward to expanding my radio platform, connecting with more creatives, and creating opportunities for artists, poets, and entrepreneurs to share their gifts.

What expert advice would you like to give?

My advice is simple: Do not let what you have been through convince you that you cannot become who you are meant to be.

Take care of your mental health. Give yourself permission to grow. Do not be afraid to start over, and do not compare your journey to someone else’s.

And if you are building a business or pursuing a dream, understand that success does not happen overnight. Keep learning, keep showing up, and remember why you started.

Most importantly, you do not have to have everything figured out to take the next step.
