Emmanuel Toha is the founder and CEO of Toha Connects, a bold and purpose-driven marketing agency that thrives at the intersection of culture, community, and conscious business. A natural connector and visionary leader, Emmanuel combines a deep understanding of human behavior with strategic creativity to help brands build authentic relationships with their audience.
Born and raised in Newark, NJ, Emmanuel’s journey has always been centered around people, impact, and growth. He played collegiate basketball, which not only taught him the importance of discipline and teamwork but also ignited his passion for leadership. His experiences as an athlete shaped his ability to perform under pressure, adapt quickly, and lead with heart—qualities that continue to drive the success of Toha Connects.
A business management major at Lincoln University (graduating in 2025), Emmanuel has already built a powerful network that spans universities, conferences like the CIAA and the American Conference, and professional communities. With Toha Connects, he aims to create a new standard for marketing agencies—one that values authenticity, emotional intelligence, and collaboration over empty trends.
Beyond marketing, Emmanuel is passionate about empowering others, especially athletes, to develop strong financial literacy and business acumen. His goal is to ensure that the next generation of leaders—on and off the court—are not only seen and heard but also financially equipped and connected for long-term success.
