Vincent Toro: A Beautiful Voice
About the Episode:
In this episode I talk to Vincent Toro. He’s a Poet, Playwright and Theater Performer and Director. He’s a community builder who describes himself as a devout Educator, which I think is really beautiful.
I found myself using the word beautiful repeatedly during our conversion. I find that artists have an ability to “see” things in this world and express “truths” in such a way that it offers the rest of us a new perspective and allows us to think differently and more deeply about the world around us.
Vincent and his work is an example of this. He has so many nuggets of wisdom to offer through his story and his journey.
We talk about a number of things, including:
The power of naming.
The impact of mentors.
The role of an artist.
Toxic Masculinity.
The power of play.
How he views his role as an Educator.
His perspective on Community.
And how he made a change and learned to move towards fear rather than retreat.
Vincent has so many beautiful nuggets of wisdom to offer as he shares his story. I so enjoyed our conversation and hope you do as well!
