CONVERSATION IS MORE THAN WORDS—IT’S A PATH TO TRANSFORMATION.
At Din Between the Lines (DBTL), we believe in the power of deep, intentional conversation. Founded by Din E. Tolbert, DBTL creates spaces that spark connection, shift perspectives, and uncover the clarity that only comes through honest dialogue.
Whether we’re on stage, in a workshop, performing spoken word, or facilitating challenging discussions, our work centers on helping people see themselves, their teams, and their possibilities in new ways.
​
Our mission is simple: put us in a room full of people, and tell us what you need them to know. We'll make sure they walk away lighter, clearer, and ready for what’s next.

TESTIMONIALS
Din is an amazing human being, he has this extraordinary ability to make complex issues accessible and understandable. it didn't matter whether we were dealing with FAFSA applications, tackling statistics and data, or teaching our students about intersectionality,
Din could always take a difficult topic and turn it into something fun and easy to understand. and it never mattered who he was talking to, he could explain it to anyone.
As a communicator, teacher, relayer and translator – Din has mastered the art of disarming. where there is density of concept and layers to wade through to arrive at understanding, Din’s voice connects, guides, and assures. his articulation and precision ensure that concepts are foundationally sound, and his style and intentionality create space and ease for fun.
His magic is in understanding audience, framing a message that fits it, and dynamically delivering to meet, teach and challenge.
