The Theta Alpha Chapter of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, celebrating 113 years on November 17, 2024, recognized LaJuana Barton at their annual Achievement Week Program. A Superb Woman, LaJuana Barton is the Chief of Staff for Texas State Senator Royce West. A long-time public servant, this author, mentor, community servant, advocate, and all-around wonderful person is Dallas’ finest. Also the president and CEO at L.D. Barton PR, she’s a fixer! A proud graduate of Franklin D. Roosevelt High School, she majored in journalism/public relations at UT and she also attended Amber University (now Amberton).
LaJuana has so many of all ages who call her “Ma Barton” because she has been such a source of support and inspiration for so many. For almost 30 years, she has been the administrator of the Dr. Emmett J. Conrad Leadership Program, where annually more than 100 students secure internships and participate in programming that helps them to become better servant leaders. She is well-respected because she is genuinely interested in the well-being of others, and while she is a strong leader, she’s an even stronger and better team player. She gets the job done. There’s probably a hidden reason why some call her “Sunny.” We will just chalk it up to her disposition and love for mankind. Pick up her book, Faithful Remembrances, written with her mother, Patricia Barton.
