Universal Teas
This podcast was created because your host, Toya realized that when we go through things in life that knock us off of our square we tend to withdraw ourselves; thinking that we’re going through a struggle that no one can understand. When in reality, there are so many people who share our experiences. Dealing with the ebs and flows of life stretch across lines of race, gender, age, and even time. But my goal is to reassure you that just how our struggles can be universal, so can our strength. But we’re never too serious to share some “tea”, laughs, and crazy and light stories. That’s why I’m here, that’s why you’ll join the family. Universal Teas; the People’s Podcast.
