About LaToya Foster
LaToya Foster, a native Washingtonian,
has taken the most powerful city in the world by
storm
since debuting as the host of “In The Know,” a Sunday morning,
independently- produced,
television newsmagazine/political affairs program, which
airs on Washington, D.C.’s ABC affiliate.
She has defied the odds with her crossover appeal, bringing
a fresh, engaging perspective to politics and current events. LaToya
has the ability to cross racial and gender lines, political
parties, and attract a younger audience to the world of
politics. LaToya is the first and only Generation X, African-American
female to host a Sunday morning political talk show in
the Nation’s Capital and perhaps the country, distinguishing
her from other popular commentators.
LaToya has appeared as a panelist and guest on MSNBC, Fox
News, Black Entertainment Television, Radio One and XM Radio.
Her winning personality and aggressive approach to getting
the job done has led her to interview many of the world’s
most powerful leaders and prominent newsmakers, including
President Barack Obama, 2008 GOP Presidential Candidate Sen.
John McCain, Vice President Joe Biden, Former
Secretary of State Colin Powell, Former Speaker of the House Newt
Gingrich,
and NBA legend Michael Jordan, among other renowned headliners.
LaToya has made quite a name for herself, and has impressed
industry insiders for her ability to speak from the heart
often times in place of a teleprompter.
As a talk radio host, LaToya made it her priority to be
the voice of the least, the last, and the lost. Her
commitment to engaging the disenfranchised led her to produce
a weekly political roundtable on her radio shows “Live at
5” and “Handle Your Business,” which airs on Radio One, discussing
the week’s top political stories with various political analysts
and strategists from both parties, as well as the callers
who voiced their opinions.
LaToya frequently blogs for FoxNews.com, and has contributed
to national publications, including Upscale Magazine and
The Source. She also covers professional sports for
local publications, news wire services and talk radio. Moreover,
LaToya was an active member of the Washington, D.C. Boxing
and Wrestling Commission.
Additionally, LaToya has demonstrated her commitment to
public service. As an International Trade Specialist
for the U.S. Department of Transportation, LaToya worked
closely with the U.S. Secretary of Transportation under the
Clinton and Bush Administrations in efforts of creating alliances
and invigorating transportation systems in third-world countries. LaToya
frequently traveled to Asia and Africa in efforts of improving
the quality of transportation systems globally to enhance
economic cooperation opportunities.
LaToya is very popular for her community involvement, raising
awareness to children in foster care, and mentoring inner-city
youth. LaToya has been featured in the Washington Post
and the Washington Times for her commitment to making a difference
in the foster care system, as well as promoting civic engagement. She
is frequently asked to serve as a moderator for a variety
of local and national events.
