Saint Augustine’s Grad Creates “Uber for Kids” Ride Service

Saint Augustine’s Grad Creates “Uber for Kids” Ride Service
Posted By: How May I Help You NC on May 25, 2017

HBCU graduates continue to come up with innovative ways to brand practical, everyday services as their own and LaQuita Foreman is no exception to this new phenomenon. A D.C. native, LaQuita started her professional journey in 2008, while attending Saint Augustine’s University. A woman of great expression, “Quita” as her peers affectionately referred to her, graduated in 2011 with a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism & Mass Communications.

During her time at St. Aug, Quita closely observed the energy of her favorite professor, Mrs. Natalie Bullock-Brown. Professor Bullock-Brown currently serves as Chair and Assistant Professor of the Department of Film and Interactive Media at the university.

Post graduation, Quita decided to take a different route and pursue teaching as a profession.



Finally, in 2016, as she begin to become more self-aware and eager for true happiness, she fed her natural entrepreneurial spirit, took a leap of faith and registered her first business, Natural Sproutz, LLC.

Natural Sproutz is unique and reliable way to transport children. Catering to residents in the D.C. area, Quita’s goal is to support parents who need assistance getting their children where they need to be safely, without effecting their work schedule. Her idea manifested after struggling to find the flexibility to get her own children to school. A mother of two, Quita found is disheartening to leave her children in before-school care to accommodate her teaching schedule.

Natural Sproutz will officially launch in June of 2017. Quita’s ultimate goal is to continue striving to create better experiences for children, so that they grow to be functioning adults in our society.
