On her Tea Time benefit, named after her You Tube Channel show, Natasha had this to say:
“The reason why I started the foundation is to support young aspiring athletes to achieve their dreams. Having watched my mother make numerous sacrifices to see me fulfill my dream made me decide that I want to support kids who are less fortunate than me. By hosting the benefit, I hope to raise funds to send 5 deserving girls to Track and Field National Championships.”
