Founder & Executive Director
Tonya founded The Black Light Project in 2016 in response to the onslaught on negative attention drawn to Black lives.
“I don't believe it is enough to change the paradigm in my own world. My belief system dictates that I reach the world in every interaction, one person at a time. I am fortunate that through The Black Light Project I get to touch many lives at once and allow them to see that they are a light everywhere that they go.”
