Ten Years Ago, A Night To Make History
It was a night before the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide, a night before the site of the Stonewall Rebellion, which…
On June 25th, 2014, I made history by being the first transgender woman of color to headline Carnegie Hall. Because of a lack of corporate funding, we could not do another all-inclusive concert at Carnegie Hall. I have reached out to GLAAD to see how I can help to speak about this growing problem around the United States. Nathan James has been doing extensive research regarding how Pride Organizations and events are no longer getting corporate sponsorships. You can check out my conversation with Nathan on my new podcast "Conversations with Tona Brown" to be released soon. GLAAD has assured me they recognize the issue and are working on a town hall meeting. We need our allies more than ever. Corporations that do support LGBTQ events need to be highlighted and uplifted for standing with our community. It is time for us to remember that the original marches and events were a PROTEST. We must remember our grassroots history. Let's work together to make important events happen around the U.S. during these difficult times. I will speak on any form of media (TV, radio, newspaper, podcast, etc) about this growing epidemic of corporate cowardice.

There are people in your life who really understand what being an ally is. Meghan K Sheehy is a true ally! When I tell you this lady gets it. Thank you Diva for always being an amazing friend and ally.
I am looking forward to seeing everyone at GLAAD's Bytes and Byline's one of the many White House correspondent's events. Last year I had a ball and met so many media professionals who vowed to support the transgender community by stopping the misinformation campaign that MAGA republicans continue to spread.
Here are a few photos from last year's event.

Hello, Tona Brown!
I hope this e-mail finds you doing well. I am writing on behalf of Pastor Mia McClain, Senior Pastor of Riverside Baptist Church, Washington, DC, to alert you of their need for a part-time keyboard player / organist who can function as Band (MD) / Music Director. The person in this position will primarily be responsible for working with and developing instrumentalists.

If you know any skilled and committed musicians in the DMV area that would be a good fit for this church, please share this job description (attached) and encourage them to apply by April 15, 2024.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Tony McNeill

I am super excited to be celebrating Women's History Month by speaking with Lamar Lamar at Muskingum University! More information to come!
Today I spent time with friends celebrating the birthday of Ms. Aleta Powell! She has the biggest heart in the world so I’m so glad we celebrated her! And then to receive my own personal copy of Outlife757 and to see myself on the cover was surreal! It means so much for me to get love from my hometown. Tears of absolute joy!!
My goal in helping with this project is to see trans people of color work in the arts and share our stories with the world.
“It allows people to get that deeper sense of who you are, what makes you the person you are.”
I am so excited to announce that my favorite viola Diva Robin Fay Massie will be coming back to the DMV to perform with the String Quartet of Northern VA on Sunday, February 11. th at 3 pm at Rock Spring UCC in Arlington, VA. Let's show our support! The concert is FREE and open to the public! See you there!

This year alone, state legislators have introduced 586 anti-trans bills in nearly every state. While 125 have failed, including two in Colorado, 85 have passed and 376 are still ac...
