Theola Debose

Co-Founder & COO
Grayside Media Group

I am passionate about education and technology, and how together they can help propel any child living in any zip code to whatever heights they choose. I have positioned humanities and learning games for public audiences, and worked directly with charter schools on media messaging, social media and marketing.

I co-founded GraySide Media Group, a boutique communications firm, to work today with tomorrow's headliners. I live for using strategic storytelling to guide brands that are unknown, underrated and undervalued so that they can shape a powerful message to share across the globe.

I also host a podcast for journalism career changers like me, "The Gray Side: Life After Journalism."

I'm a SXSW EDU newbie this year, attending for the first time ever as a mentor in communications and marketing. If you're doing great work, or, if you have developed the next big ed tech thing -- and no one knows about it, yet, let's connect and shape your powerful message.
