La Taunya Green is the Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Unfamiliar Blessings, Inc a non-profit organization that creates and distributes specialized survival necessity kits for the Unhoused Community. La Taunya has worked for the Los Angeles Superior Courts for over 30 years and has been a Court Services Supervisor for 17 years. It is La Taunya's passion and love for people that lead her to start a non-profit geared towards assisting the unhoused and those in transition. La Taunya's compassion for people started when she became a Girl Scout in the first grade. As a Girl Scout, she was taught so much, from how to survive in the wilderness; to being an entrepreneur by selling cookies and calendars. She was given extensive tasks to complete from a Girl Scout workbook either as a group or individually to earn badges, pins, and metals, this is where she learned the value of "hard work”, “dedication”, “leadership”, “teamwork” and “community service." As an African American woman of the 21st century and a Lifetime Girl Scout Member, La Taunya realized that her life could not just be about her, it had to involve helping others and changing the world.

​La Taunya is a member of Faithful Central Bible Church in Inglewood, CA where she has served as an Ambassador on the Experience Team. La Taunya is also a member of the Empowerment Congress where she serves on the Homeless Working Group committee. She is an active member of the Dream It Build It Collective and the BeYOUtiful Minds network organizations. Her kit assembly organizational skills have granted her the opportunity to lead and direct large groups in preparing and assembling hygiene kits for Loyola High School in Los Angeles and has adopted her a permanent volunteer position as the Service Project Day Coordinator for the Inner-City Law Center in Los Angeles. La Taunya’s passion for the youth has elected her to becoming a member of the Inglewood Unified School Districts Asset Management Committee. With a high population of Unhoused Youth in our schools La Taunya is praying Unfamiliar Blessings Inc could formulate a partnership with our schools to supply specialized survival necessity kits.

Unfamiliar Blessings, Inc. focuses on the unsanitary factors affecting our unhoused communities in the Los Angeles area and are currently expanding services across the United States. Unfamiliar Blessings, Inc. has distributed and delivered more than two thousand homeless kits to surrounding communities and transitional facilities and have raised more than $5,000.00 to continue their efforts. La Taunya’s hopes and dreams for Unfamiliar Blessings, Inc. is to distribute kits all over the world. In 2006, while vacationing in Europe she noticed and was shocked to see unhoused people living along a canal in Paris, she believes this is where God gave her the vision to help the unhoused and the thought that there are homeless people everywhere not just in Los Angeles. La Taunya’s constant prayer is that she will be able to go back to Paris to distribute Unfamiliar Blessings kits to those unhoused persons living along that canal. In 2023, La Taunya came up with an idea to start a movement called the UBMOVEMENT. Persons can purchase kits, place them in their cars for when they encounter an unhoused person, they gift them the kit, ask permission to take a picture or video of them holding the kit and post it on Unfamiliar Blessings Inc’s and their social media platforms by tagging Unfamiliar Blessings Inc and #5000kits2024. And just like that, they have become an “Unfamiliar Blessing” to a stranger.

La Taunya Green and Unfamiliar Blessings Inc is changing the way people give to those in need, “An Unfamiliar Blessing.” La Taunya’s daily prayer is to meet someone new, change someone’s life, be a blessing to someone and perform a random act of kindness.
