Latia Ashley Brings Love, Healing, and Truth to Atlanta with the Launch of Her New Book UpDate

On July 26th, Atlanta didn’t just host another book launch—it held space for a movement. Author and speaker Latia Ashley officially unveiled her new Christian dating guide, UpDate, and the night was as real, raw, and red carpet-ready as it gets.

Dubbed the blueprint for love, dating, and becoming the one, Latia’s debut release has already sparked important conversations across communities of faith. But this live ATL UpDate Book Experience wasn’t just about signing copies—it was about shaking off old mindsets and stepping boldly into healthier relationships.

A Blueprint for Becoming

In UpDate, Latia doesn’t shy away from the realities of modern dating. From ghosting that feels like “the rapture happened” to breadcrumbing, love-bombing, and confusing chemistry for covenant—her words resonate because they’re lived.

The book, already gaining momentum on Amazon, takes a faith-rooted yet practical approach to love. At its core is one radical idea: love isn’t complicated—unhealed people are.

“This isn’t about chasing fairy tales,” Latia shares. “It’s about preparing yourself to become the one who is whole, wise, and aligned with God’s purpose before you ever walk down the aisle.”

Healing Before Happily Ever After

What makes UpDate stand out is its unapologetic call for clarity, healing, and peace as the true markers of love. Latia challenges readers to stop bargaining for commitment or shrinking themselves to be chosen, and instead embrace the power of preparation:

• Seeing red flags for what they are.

• Choosing wisdom over wishful thinking.

• Understanding that peace is the proof of real love.

  
  

The ATL Book Experience echoed that same spirit of empowerment. With a mix of laughter, storytelling, and unfiltered truth, guests left reminded that becoming isn’t about waiting for someone else to choose you—it’s about choosing wholeness first.

What’s Next

As Latia steps into this new season as an author, her mission is clear: to equip a generation to date with wisdom, faith, and confidence. And judging from the energy in the room, UpDate isn’t just a book—it’s becoming a movement.

You can grab your copy of UpDate now on Amazon. Let's heal together and "become the one" for our future spouse!
