14: Toni Tone: From Advising My Family To Helping 300k Online
Toni Tone is one of the internet’s big sisters, best friends and for some, the best reality check around! Across her online career, she’s provided relationship commentary to her loyal following on Twitter and Instagram, and in this week’s episode of Unboxed, Jordan delves into where this foundation of helping empower people came from. We learn about her early life and relationships, her emergence from online commentator to bestselling author, but importantly - her take on the black female creator landscape, and what needs to change.
From her experience of a problematic black history month booking, Toni explains why she feels black female creators need to stop feeling ‘grateful’ for work - and move towards knowing their worth and value to the creator landscape.
Unafraid to say it how it is, Toni’s episode is empowering, honest and full of actionable advice to many audiences listening to this episode.
