I appreciate your support!
Latatious Morris was born and raised in Pensacola, Florida, famously known as the home of the Blue Angels. After graduating from high school, Latatious followed her dream of moving to the city that never sleeps and lived in New York City for almost 12 years. But, after a visit with friends in North Carolina in 2010, she relocated to Raleigh barely a month later, accepting a position in the behavioral health field.
Latatious moved to Knightdale in 2014 and quickly fell in love with it (especially in the fall). She immediately immersed herself in the community, learning as much as she could about the town and its people. What she found was a place that reminded her of her hometown, a place that gave her a sense of belonging. She found a place that felt like home.
Soon, Latatious joined the HOA Board for her subdivision in Churchill and also became active with the landscape and social committees. After serving on the Board for more than 3 years, Latatious wanted to do more, so she applied to become a member of the Land Use Review Board (LURB) for the town of Knightdale. She served on the LURB from 2018-2021, first as a quasi-judicial member and later as the LURB Chair, before being appointed to Town Council in January of 2021.
As a member of Town Council, Latatious is passionate about Accessibility for All Abilities in Knightdale. She is committed to more sidewalks, bike lanes, and walkable areas within Knightdale, including 100% greenway connectivity across town, as well as consistent and reliable public transportation. When Latatious is not serving her community, you can find her working with charities such as the American Heart Association, Relay For Life, and St. Baldricks. (Fun fact: in 2019, Latatious raised money for St. Baldricks by shaving off all her hair!) She is also in the process of completing her degree in Communications via Distant Education through East Carolina University (GO PIRATES!!)
Latatious will tell you that her “happy place” is at the beach, buried in a book . . . but her real happy place is in Knightdale, spending time with friends and family. She wants to continue serving Knightdale because this is her true home, and she wants others to love it as much as she does. Two of her favorite local spots are the Veteran’s Memorial in Knightdale Station Park and the Knightdale Environmental Park. So if you ever see her about town, stop her and say hello!

Because Knightdale should be accessible to all, I want to ensure every resident of Knightdale and every visitor to our beautiful town has access anywhere they would like to go. People should be able to easily access any part of the Mingo Creek greenway trail to take a walk, go for a bike ride, or simply stop and enjoy nature. We should also provide sidewalks all over town to ensure the safety of our residents by keeping them off of the main roadway and away from oncoming traffic, especially on primary roads where this is the most dangerous. Lastly, we also need to provide our town with easy accessibility to consistent, reliable, affordable public transportation, which would enable those without vehicles, or those looking for a more environmentally friendly transportation option to access work, shopping, appointments, and friends and family in the area.
The development of Knightdale is vital to our town and our citizenry. In order to attract successful, lasting businesses here, we have to make smart choices about future developments. The first step is following the Knightdale Next2035 Comprehensive Plan. Bringing in economically friendly developments to Knightdale helps nourish a community where people can move here, start families, buy homes, and be productive members of a welcoming place where everyone can truly work, live, and play.
One of the most important things about living in a new place is to find a sense of community. No matter if you were born in Knightdale, another part of North Carolina, or somewhere else completely, new residents and visitors should feel safe and welcome here, just as I did. One way to do that is by creating safe environments where families can come together and bond in the parks, on the trailways, local hangout spots, and in their neighborhoods. I want to open the lines of communication between the town’s Council and its residents to make sure that Knightdale residents are heard and fairly represented. This kind of open communication can help keep our community bonded together. Knightdale should continue to strive to be a place that is diverse and inclusive for people from all walks of life.
Send Latatious a message with any questions or concerns, and she'll get back to you with answers as soon as she can.
