TW: Mentions of suicide
In this episode, I sit down with Toni Akin, a powerhouse in public education and a deeply compassionate advocate for those navigating affordable and subsidized housing. With over 20 years in the educational field, Toni brings a rare blend of lived experience, sharp insight, and heart-forward leadership.
Toni’s story began in affordable housing in Boston, where she was raised by her grandmother. An experience that taught her the lifesaving impact of supportive adults and community programs. Now, she’s on a mission to challenge the stigma surrounding subsidized housing and to expand access to educational opportunities for underserved communities.
