Latsha made history in 2020 as the first African women's rugby player to go professional.
The 29-year-old tighthead moved to Harlequins in February 2023 and is loving her time at the London club, making 20 appearances, scoring an impressive seven tries across two seasons.
Despite currently being seventh in the league and 23 points off the playoffs, Latsha is optimistic about the rest of the season as the Women's Premiership takes a pause due to the Six Nations.
Latsha told The Rugby Paper: "I'm enjoying it a lot. The rugby's great. The people are fantastic to be around and the club is thriving. It's a great melting pot of different people and nationalities, and there's so much we can feed off one another, which I think is quite special.
"There's a high level of professionalism within the club. But also, a good balance between that and allowing players to express themselves and be who they want to be."
