Toya Talks

9

The education system teaches us to learn and recall information and at the end of it we are tested and expected to then pass exams. After all said and done the reality is, we are supposed to get a job at the end of it. I was unaware of the difficulties I would encounter at work especially as a Black Woman. How do I navigate work and how do I keep a job? Education institutions do not prepare you for work, racism, bullying, and oppressive managers in the workplace. Where the education system has not prepared you, I will. Toya Talks is a platform birthed on my day to day uploads on Snapchat. I discuss the realities of work from the perspective of a Black Woman and how I have successfully navigated work using my experiences. Toya Talks Podcast covers the world of work and not just the corporate world. Black Women for too long have been overlooked and underrepresented in the workplace. Toya Talks is a safe place and a platform to share, grow and learn, more importantly, educate ourselves and everyone else so we can navigate and grow in the world of work more smoothly. This Podcast contains my opinions and feelings based on my lived experiences, my opinions and my Black experience. My views and experiences are in no way intended to cause offence. Lets put the sensitivity to one side, prepare to laugh, learn & grow!!!!

    Thank you for sharing Toya!

    So Needed!
    I came across Toya W on Lydia Dinga’s YouTube channel. That prompted me to follow her on Instagram (as I didn’t have Snapchat). A full year later and I finally decided to tune into her podcast and I’m so disappointed that it took me so long. Toya spits truth! All of her information, advice, feedback is useful and I believe years from now this information she’s sharing will remain relevant. She has been instrumental in helping me navigate the workplace as a black woman climbing the corporate ladder. Thank you, Toya.
