We are sponsoring students who need assistance during this difficult economic time! We are halfway to our goal to sponsor all our current students, and will be raising money for scholarships for future students and way to help families in the DMV area. gofund.me/77c1c782d

Today is #MusicMonday!! Celebrate the legacy of #GraceJones!!🎼🎼🎼

Fuck vote blue no matter who. If all this madness isn't enough to get the Democrats to field a candidate who can support trans rights and be against genocide they're telling me they don't want my vote and I'm happy to oblige. I'm not voting for a more polite Trump. Full stop.

Men who engage in DL behavior typically do not change their ways as long as they can continue to avoid consequences. Often, these men only change after being publicly outed or when they reach an age where their reputation is so damaged that no one is interested in them.

In the DMV area, the administration has been inadequate, leading to job losses, layoffs, and a government shutdown. We are all facing a crisis and desperately need assistance. Without income, we cannot pay our bills. My heart goes out to everyone affected. #DonationsNeeded #TonaBrown #DMV

We need to share advice with women on the type of men to not only stay away from, but also who we should date as transgender women. #conversationsafterdarkwithtonabrown #wordsofadvice #tonabrown #positivemasculinity #goodmen

As a transgender pioneer in the arts, I can't tell you how tired I am of seeing my sisters being unalived in the streets. On Patreon, I'm giving trans women advice on things to look out for with these DL and Toxic men. #podcast #snippet #tonabrown

Storytime: One of the guys I truly loved was a local rapper who helped me feel comfortable in my own skin and explore my sexuality with men. He was one of the best lovers I've ever had. Unfortunately, he passed away after we lost touch with each other. #goodmen #positivemasculinity #tonabrown

Please share our GoFundMe campaign with others as we meet our goals to sponsor young artists like Chloe Campbell. A $30.00 donation can make a difference in a young person's life during these difficult times. $300.00 gets them 1 on 1 private instruction and an opportunity to perform.

More scholarship recipients are ready to be announced shortly. Please donate generously to our Gofundme campaign to help young artists like Hana pursue her dreams.

Visibility within the trans community is a source of strength, but there is an urgent need for broader support from the general public. It is crucial to advocate for and uplift trans individuals and businesses operated by trans people during this vital time. WE need your help! #transawarenessweek

House Democrats are now another member stronger! After a long delay, Adelita Grijalva has been sworn in. The people of Arizona’s 7th district voice has been restored in D.C., and I look forward to working with her. Welcome, CONGRESSWOMAN!

Today is #ReadAbook Weds!! Here are a few suggestions @meccajamilah.bsky.social @tonacity.bsky.social @joeokonkwo.bsky.social

If I were to defy a court order, I'd be in jail, not building a ballroom. Reopen government, swear in Adelita Grivala, release the Epstein Files, restore healthcare subsidies, and fund SNAP.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country. Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right. The solution: Medicare for All.

Congratulations Hana Bajrami for being an award recipient to continue music lessons. Her mother was laid off during the government shutdown down. She loves to sing and is a lead in various musicals in the DMV area. Your donations matter! gofund.me/8f41d6a85

Donald Trump could use the same sharpie he signed off on destroying the East Wing and giving $40B to Argentina to release SNAP funding, but he won’t. Because he wants Americans to suffer.

Happy Halloween

Driven to suicide on the campus of her school, which kicked her off the swimming team for being trans. This is collegiate education in America today.

Thank you for your support! Please share! #musiclessons

Natalie Charles is not only an exceptional vocalist, who recently was one of the youngest sopranos accepted into the all state choir, but she is an exceptional pianist as well. Here she is playing Sonatina in g major by Ludwig von Beethoven.

One of the greatest joy’s I have as a teacher is working with students with autism. Here Braxton St. Hill performs for our studio class his very own rendition of “Come and see me,” ft. Drake, accompanied acoustically by partynextdoor. #performance #aidastudiosva #braxtonsthill #tonasstudents

I love teaching my online private and group music students. #aidastudiosva #onlinemusiclessons
