Fields Family
“Leadership comes from within the home, not from the outside world. The greatest youth program is the institution of family.” – Evangelist Ronald L. Fields, II
Evangelists Ronald and Latasha, both born and raised in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, were called by the Lord in 2011 to serve the resilient people of Illinois. They have made their home in the great city of Chicago ever since and have been joyfully married for 20 years.
Latasha H. Fields is a J.D. Candidate at Trinity Law School, a home educator for over 19 years, and a passionate advocate for parental rights, unconventional education, and community empowerment. She and her husband, Evangelist Ronald L. Fields II, are the founders and overseers of Our Report Ministries & Publications, an evangelistic outreach ministry.
Latasha is the Co-founder of Christian Home Educators Support System (CHESS)—a homeschool co-op, support group, and K–12 online and in-person microschool—and Empowering Parents Igniting Communities (EPIC), a parental rights organization. She serves as the Illinois State Coordinator for ParentalRights.org and as a Project 21 Ambassador with the National Center for Public Policy Research. Recognized as a 1776 Unites Achiever by the Woodson Center, she was also a candidate for Lieutenant Governor of Illinois, reflecting her deep commitment to advancing parental rights, educational freedom, and biblical values in public policy.
For nearly two decades, Latasha has been a vocal critic of government education, opposing its usurpation of God-given parental authority, chronic academic failure, and the sexualization and ideological indoctrination of children through explicit curricula and extreme racial and Marxist theories.
In recognition of her efforts to rescue students from the “Apostles of Wokeism” in public schools, she received the Illinois Family Institute’s 2021 “Voice of Truth” Award.
Latasha draws inspiration from Booker T. Washington, echoing his belief that “education is not a thing apart from life—not a ‘system,’ nor a philosophy; it is direct teaching how to live and how to work.”
Her advocacy has taken her from local communities to the national stage. She shared her personal testimony of perseverance and hard work before the U.S. House Budget Committee in a hearing titled “Poverty in America: Economic Realities of Struggling Families.” Her opinion piece “God, Parents, and the ‘1619 Project’” appeared in The Wall Street Journal, and she has been featured on Fox News, Fox & Friends, Newsmax, C-SPAN, InfoWars, Center Square, and numerous podcasts, speaking on Christian education, homeschooling, economic empowerment, the divine family structure, and biblical conservative values.
In addition to her advocacy work, Latasha has over 14 years of experience in real estate, with certifications in property management and nonprofit housing. She graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Trinity Christian College with a 4.0 GPA.
Latasha and her husband, Ronald, bring over 25 years of combined entrepreneurial experience and own 3rd Phase Barbershop in Chicago’s South Shore community. Ronald, a master barber and clipper technician, also serves as the 21st Ward Republican Committeeman.
Together, they have four children: two homeschooled graduates—one a college graduate and one in a trade program—and are currently homeschooling their two youngest children.
