WHO ARE WE
OUR MISSION

It's founder La'Toya Guillory recognized that there was not a lot of representation or resources in the black community in this space so she set out to create one. Acadiana Black Authors LLC strives to educate and encourage local residents to tell their story and help others do the same. With the strategic membership plan members can participate in monthly membership meetings highlighting topics that assist with their mission. Members of the local community can also take part in various services to assist them with the publication of their projects.
