LaShanda’ Marie (Whittaker Broussard) Loughridge was born on January 22, 1982. Her loving parents are Cynthia Whittaker – Coleman (Mother), Dr. Darryl W. Broussard (Father), and Deborah Broussard (Bonus Mother). She has four beautiful children: Julius (21), Jayda (20), Jalyce (18), and Jaxon (10). She also has three siblings, Robert Whittaker, CoyAnthony Shelton, and Darrylyn Broussard, as well as one niece Coylyn Shelton and nephew Jacoby Pettaway. She has a very close circle of friends who are like family and has close relationships with all of her family. LaShanda’ graduated from Westfield High School in 1999. She pursued higher education at Lone Star College with an Associate of Arts in Teaching in 2009, from the University of Houston with a Bachelor’s Degree in Interdisciplinary Studies (Certified EC – 6 Generalist and Special Education EC – 12) in 2011, and a Master’s of Education degree in Exceptionality as an Educational Diagnostician from the University of St. Thomas in 2016. LaShanda’ has previous experience in law enforcement as a Tele-communicator in Houston. As her children got older, she decided to make a career change to be able to accommodate her children’s needs and ventured into education in 2008. This began with becoming an Educational Aide, gradually a teacher, and eventually an Educational Diagnostician – her ultimate career goal. She works as an Educational Diagnostician for a local school district in Houston. She also launched her own company named J’s Evaluations in October 2020, offering services of psycho-educational evaluations, consultations, and advocacy for special needs. LaShanda’ is a lover at heart and has a special love for those with disabilities, women – particularly young mothers, and the roles/changes of being a woman. She unapologetically shares her testimony and also advocates for mental health care. LaShanda’ has made a declaration to be a voice to speak to the life inside of us that we suppress, due to feelings of inadequacy, trauma, and challenges that arise. She strongly believes that being whole consists of addressing all aspects of your inner self, physical, spiritual, emotional, and mental. LaShanda’ has recently launched a podcast, a women’s support group, and has released her first book with great anticipation to help someone challenge themselves to live an abundant life by being wholesome to themselves first before they can be of any benefit to anyone else.
