Biography

Councilor LaTonya A. Tate grew up in North Birmingham, where she currently resides. Her father, the late Clifford Hatcher, a native of Collegeville, was a retired cabinet maker in Oxnard, California, and her mother, Barbara J. Tate, worked and retired from the U.S. Postal Service. 

Councilor Tate was educated in the Birmingham Public School System. She attended MacArthur Elementary and graduated from John Herbert Phillips High School. She graduated from the Bevill State Community College LPN program and from the University of Phoenix, where she obtained her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Criminal Justice Administration/Security. She also holds a master’s degree in Public Administration from Grand Canyon University.

Councilor Tate worked in healthcare industries for over 15 years in Jefferson County. She also served as a probation and parole officer for nearly a decade with the Florida Department of Corrections, before retiring in 2014. In 2018, Councilor Tate founded the Alabama Justice Initiative, a nonprofit social justice organization that works on criminal justice reform and policy initiatives. 

 In addition to her busy schedule, Councilor Tate is an active member of many social justice organizations, including Alabamians For Fair Justice and Alabama Forward. In 2020, she graduated from Emerge Alabama, an organization that trains progressive democrat women to run for office. She is also a graduate of the Congressional Black Caucus Institute.

Councilor Tate is the mother of one son, TaDarrius A. Tate, and the grandmother of Camille Gabrielle. She is a member of Twenty Fifth Avenue Baptist Church. Councilor Tate’s mission is to advocate finding improvements and solutions instead of replacements, and bridging the gap between all neighborhoods in District 9.

“It’s time to elect a leader, who is concerned about the quality of life of all families, all seniors, and all youth in District 9.”

CHICAGO is still the one musical with everything that makes Broadway shimmy-shake: a universal tale of fame, fortune, and all that jazz, with one showstopping song after another and the most astonishing dancing you’ve ever seen.

In the whirlwind of Chicago’s Jazz Age, two of the Cook County Jail’s most notorious murderesses—vaudeville star Velma Kelly and chorus girl Roxie Hart—become fierce rivals as they compete for headlines amidst a media frenzy.

Broadway’s longest-running musical has been razzle dazzling audiences for 27 years, and after more than 10,000 performances, 6 Tony Awards®, 2 Olivier Awards, and a Grammy®, we’re just getting started.

Come on, babe! Head to CHICAGO!

We’re hotter than ever.

The Good Girl Tour & The Alive And Unwell tour! If you've ever had the pleasure of seeing an episode of Comedy Central mainstay 'Not Safe with Nikki Glaser', then you'll be well acquainted with her unapologetic, no-holds-barred comedy style, but you may still blush when confronted with her racy live stand-up routine. Leaving no stone unturned when it comes topics including sex, relationships, the single life, Target fashion triumphs and invasive TSA practices, Glaser spreads her mischievous glee around venues across North America on 'The Good Girl' tour and 'The Alive and Unwell Tour' (which will commence from 14 September 2024) - no matter which tour you get, it's bound to have all of the comedy wit and genius that Glaser is known for! Not only has Glaser tickled the nation's funny bones on the small screen, but also appeared alongside Amy Schumer in feature film Trainwreck and produced a popular podcast in which she honed her oversharing, top notch comedy skills. Whilst she's at her razor-sharp best when getting way too personal, her hilarious rage also brings the belly laughs when she tears into vapid celebrity culture. Charismatic, consistently charming and constantly balancing frankness with neuroses and self-deprecation, Glaser's clearly on path to legend status.
