The Toya Talks Podcast
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!!!!

Black Women Deserve To Be Loved In Public (PT1)
A recent interview with Esther Falana on Good Morning Britain sparked debate regarding being over 35 years old being too old to be a mother/start a family. This was a topic not covered with care and depth and proved reckless especially with the back handed age shaming without exploring this layered topic to provide a view that was both informative and factual.
Black Women in the world of work are both financially and from a position perspective significantly disadvantaged and spend more time climbing the career ladder this leads to career being the main focus and family life coming later. This also includes the consideration that society does not facilitate the socio-economic means to support family and motherhood/patenthood.
In this episode which is two part, I will be providing depth to this topic including the medical consideration and recommendation for us to check our ovarian health to remove the societal pressures in feeling that we are running out of time. - Lets discuss.
