More about Us More about Us

UGLY: Understanding God's Love for You

UGLY: Understanding God’s Love for You is the core movement and curriculum. Its purpose is to guide individuals through healing, identity restoration, and transformation—helping them reach the other side of their UGLY and become healthier, more whole versions of themselves.

UGLY: U Gotta Love You

UGLY (U Gotta Love You) exists as a professional extension of the core movement. It allows the work to enter spaces where explicit faith language may be limited—such as public schools, corporations, and community organizations—without compromising the heart of the work.

The Ugly Duckling School of Etiquette

Once individuals begin living from a healed place, they may choose to continue their growth through etiquette and confidence-based skill development. These programs teach participants how to walk in professional, social, and leadership spaces with poise and self-respect. Etiquette is not about performance—it’s about alignment.

TESTIMONIALS

What’s the feedback
about UGLY?

Healing Brings Peace

LaTanya’s UGLY Movement program not only taught me how to cultivate my manners and etiquette, but it also taught me how to carry myself like a lady both inside and outside of the home. I learned so many things such as Swan Emergence, how to overcome pain, and how healing truly brings peace.

Partner with UGLY

HeartLove Place is honored to partner with UGLY. UGLY has proven to be a great resource for the Milwaukee community through their programming in etiquette and their conversations on tackling the "ugly" to get at the beauty. We have partnered with UGLY for the past 7 years and look forward to doing even more!

- Viola R.

Words of Encouragement

It was such a pleasure to be amongst the many who were privileged to receive words of encouragement from LaTanya at the Wednesday night huddle support dinner held at the Community Warehouse. The power and sincerity was felt throughout the room. I’m thankful she came and shared with us.

- Frank

Embracing My Imperfections

UGLY taught me how to truly love myself by embracing my imperfections and turning them into my testimony. Latanya’s wisdom and guidance have played a powerful role in shaping the woman I am today.
