Yes, with an "i".
Who is Tobi Gbile as a professional, and what is she passionate about?
For starters - she graduated from the University of Chicago in March 2018 from the Trott Business Program, with a wide array of experience as an entertainment journalist at Bustle, business journalist at Crain's, and marketing intern at Sony Music Entertainment and Viacom Media Networks under her belt before she tossed her cap and gown.
From September 2018 - July 2021, she called Germany home, where she held multiple positions in the adidas Originals and Cultural Collaborations team, and was gifted the immense opportunity of manageing the product creation process for two BIPOC changemakers, Wales Bonner and Kerwin Frost.
In August 2021, she decided to leave her newfound home in Europe behind for the opportunity to become the apparel product marketing manager for the adidas x Ivy Park by Beyoncé collaboration based in her dream city of Los Angeles, California.
In her spare time, she's the Creative Director for the multi-hyphenate rapper TGBEAM, making strategic and creative decisions to grow his fanbase.
When she's not practicing her juggling act, she's writing and podcasting. Her first teen fiction novel, "The Stunnerz", was published in the prime of her teenage years at age 16, and she continues her love for writing on her lifestyle website, Girl With Purple Gucci's, and she hosts a widely distributed podcast with her hometown friends: The Weekly Baecay.
Long story, semi-short, storytelling is running through her veins, and she's constantly looking to grow and evolve, professionally and personally, so that she will be better suited to share these stories with the world.
