About Us
Columbus Speaks was founded in 2020 by Emily Post and Tyler Phillips. Starting out with a desire to become more active in their community, they launched in the summer during the civil rights unrest and raised over $10,000 for the Columbus Freedom Fund. Since then the vision for the platform has grown and has become a outspoken group in the world of human equality.
