She sang in the school's choir and also she played in some plays during her elementary school.

In school she met Beyonce K nowles and after a little conflict with her they became very good friends and later she was co-opted in Beyonce's band Destiny's Child. She had a lot of success with Destiny's Child and they won a lot of prizes but after their second album which was sold in millions of copies appeared some problems and LeToya and La Tavia, another member of the band had to leave the band.

After a lawsuit against Mathew Knowles, the manager of the group and Beyonce's father LaToya and LaTavia founded a new group called Anjel.

In 2003 she started a business with a clothing boutique in the Uptown Park shopping center in Houston, Texas called Lady L Boutique.
