About Tee-Ta & Tiffany: Tee-Ta Walker and Tiffany Scott met at a business conference in Florida in 2018. After discovering that they were both Brand Strategists, they hit it off. Many similarities followed; however, the most significant disparity (ignorance and privilege - on Tiffany's part) was where the friendship grew at lightning speed. Weird right? After a very candid conversation about race at dinner, they knew they had to bring the conversations they were having out from behind closed doors, and 'A BLACK GIRL A WHITE GIRL' podcast and videocast was born. Tee-Ta received her MBA in Marketing Management. As the founder of Tee-Ta Walker & Associates, LLC, a Creative and Analytical Brand Strategist, she helps businesses build a brand that connects, relates, and achieves marketplace influence. Tiffany, the Australian native, honed her skills working as a Brand and Marketing Director for international powerhouse brands, re-injecting life and vibrancy into a household name as iconic as Speedo. The founder of You Me She Collective, Tiffany, has helped businesses create brands focused on social good. When Tee-Ta and Tiffany aren't building brands, you'll find them on their 'A Black Girl A White Girl' platform having honest conversations about race. Their mission is to help others find the courage to have everyday conversations to end inequities, biased behaviors, and racism.
