We had the good fortune of connecting with Charles Toussaint and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Charles, what habits do you feel helped you succeed?

The habit of having a Tenacious attitude, as many obstacles I’ve overcome and are yet overcoming. I’ve never once thrown in the towel, I’ve thought about several times but my determination to be authentically successful won’t allow me!

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
Well I am.bi-vocational, I’ve been in education for the past seven years and Pastoring going on two years now. All of my life I was told I was going to be a preacher and that my life would impact many. I followed in the foot steps of many in my family and became an educator right out of college. Teaching and working in ministry has had its ups and downs but it certainly jas been rewarding. Many of the challenges i had to overcome were tackled by best practices for mental health. I am.a big advocate for mental health and.self-care. Some of the lessons I’ve learned along the way have been to “Live Life To The Fullest!” I desire for my.brand and story to show the world that all things are possible!

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Wow this is exciting my first stop would be Yolk, I love their breakfast menu. After leaving Yolk we would venture to North Park mall and for lunch grab a bite to eat at Maggiano’s Little Italy for dinner we would go to Nick& Sams Steakhouse.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
First I really wouldn’t have made it this far without my faith and knowing who’s in control of my life. I want to shout out my amazing wife Lauren Janette Toussaint and my Daughter Ronke! My parents and younger sister who are: Charles, Sharon, and Dorian. My Mentor Pastor/CEO of BOHDC James Armstrong III. Last but not least God’s Dwelling Place Church, Inc. of Fort Worth,TX
