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!!!!

Suella Is Not Brave
Number 10 Downing St is the HQ. For us mere mortals it represents organisations we work for. Suella Braverman is an employee. The sacking of Braverman is more than an angry boss letting go of an employee this is the dynamics of a manager, CEO, Line Manager and HR not recruiting well and then dealing with the fall out of a rogue employee.
In this episode we delve deeper and draw learnings for our own strategic ventures in the world of work.
Let me be clear, I do not believe democracy exists in this country but this country purports to be democratic. When you seek to control the narrative there is no freedom of speech, when you dictate how a peaceful March should be done you erode democracy when you attempt to remove freedoms to push a personal agenda or narrative you erode democracy. I do not believe true democracy exists in this country.
Note : We have an update on a previous dilemma episode 'My manager wants me to cancel my one week course to attend his team meeting away day' https://open.spotify.com/episode/6OZ6e6hsZELnjhCsW07cwn?si=QWLAcEpsSCGuPE4z2W7u2g
