67 Millennium - Twenty-fourth Edition BUSINESS, FINANCE AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP OWNER Creations from Tasha’s Heart St. Robert, MO SAP CONSULTANT Mexico City, Mexico LATASHA EVON BLUNT After serving with distinction in the U.S. Army for two decades, Latasha Evon Blunt veered into entrepreneurship and established Creations from Tasha’s Heart, a business she leverages to design customized gift baskets for a variety of occasions, including military ceremonies, birthdays, weddings and funerals. Inspired by witnessing departing military personnel receiving generic gift baskets that lacked a personal, creative touch, Mrs. Blunt endeavored to create a more meaningful alternative that would help each recipient feel valued. During her military service, Mrs. Blunt received numerous accolades and decorations – a testament to her excellence in the field. She considers her service to be a crowning highlight of her career. Now, she is pursuing a bachelor’s degree in entrepreneurship and business at Southern New Hampshire University to expand her business acumen. Mrs. Blunt’s business was honored with a ribbon-cutting ceremony from the Waynesville-St. Robert Chamber of Commerce, celebrating its success. Beyond her primary work, she is dedicated to community involvement and has been handcrafting earrings for women and children with unpierced ears.
