Toshe Phillips: One of One

Welcome to Talking Back to the Teacher Podcast Season 4 Episode 74 One of One w/ Toshe Phillips This is a stroll down memory lane. When I first changed mymajor to education, I found myself with an ample amount of interactions with teenagers. I met today’s guest when I first started attending a church regularly in Athens, OH. The selling point was, “Yo, there’s black people.” That was 20+ years ago and to be honest, it does NOT feel like that much time has flown by. It’s hard to accept she is a grown entrepreneur, business owner, wife, mother, and more. Sometimes, she is still that teen I would see a few times a week in Athens, or in The Plains. We go back to when I was carrying my Sony Cybershotaround trying to capture moments of my “college experience.” I may have to dig some up just for nostalgiaand laughs. My guest is Toshe Phillips. You can call her Shay. She hailsfrom Ohio… but currently is thriving in the Atlanta, Georgia area. She is a big sis, but also kind of like my little sis from way back... and she doesn’t play at all. She is a creator. She is trained and has an eye for… welllet’s just say she has an eye for everything! She met me at the most transformative part of my life, todate, and we will explain to you how we survived in spaces that didn’t look like we belonged.
