Phil Taitt, Digital Content Creator, Storyteller, Founder of the Phil Taitt show, and now News 12 Weekend Anchor and Nightside Reporter. We had the pleasure of connecting with Phil on so many topics that sparked inspiration. We discussed Phil reporting live on the ground through the largest civil rights movement in the summer of 2020 due to the death of George Floyd, the power of impact within the community, serving yourself, overcoming moments of adversity, and the importance of representation in Media. Phil gives us a closer look on his journey on how he got to where he is today, although it was not easy — it sure was worth it. It's a conversation you do not want to miss.
