Episode Thirty One - Tasha Ghouri
Alex kicks off Season 4 with a conversation with the lovely and super stylish Tasha Ghouri.
Alex and Tasha discuss her journey before and after her experience on the popular reality show ‘Love Island’, where she not only found love but also became the first preloved eBay ambassador after being on the show. They dive into her lifelong passion for dance, how she’s embraced her challenges with hearing and become a key spokeswoman for the hard of hearing community within the UK and beyond.
“We kick off Season 4 of our podcast This is a Token with Tasha Ghouri, from our favourite (not-so guilty pleasure) Love Island.
Connie and I are big fans and Tasha is such a style icon it took several outfit changes to prepare for this one. But as expected Tasha was delightful, funny and smart. We had such a fun morning chatting about jewellery, tv, and super-powers!” - Alex Monroe
Her jewellery choices, classic and timeless in their design, are so well loved by Tasha that she never takes them off. In fact one piece, gifted by her close group of friends, became a signal to communicate with her loved ones whilst she was participating on ‘Love Island’.
Be sure to listen out for Tasha’s upcoming podcast series, ‘Superpowers’, where Tasha and her guests discuss their personal ‘superpowers’ and how they’ve embraced their challenges to become the people they are today.
