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.”

[more+]Pain and Glory tells of a series of reencounters experienced by Salvador Mallo, a film director in his physical decline. Some of them in the flesh, others remembered: his childhood in the 60s, when he emigrated with his parents to a village in Valencia in search of prosperity, the first desire, his first adult love in the Madrid of the 80s, the pain of the breakup of that love while it was still alive and intense, writing as the only therapy to forget the unforgettable, the early discovery of cinema, and the void, the infinite void created by the incapacity to keep on making films.
