This week's #WomenWarriorsWork spotlight is on Toni Brown, a warrior womxn for Indian education!

Toni is Italian/Portuguese from her father and Choctaw/Cherokee from her mother. Born and raised in northern California where she resides today, Toni is passionate about social justice issues, especially those facing Native children. She came to the field of Indian education with years of various experiences as a classroom volunteer, event and sports team manager, business owner, and most important of all: proud mother. 
Married to her best friend of 36 years, Don (California Miwok), Toni became involved in their sons' education from a young age. Placing high value and importance of knowing their own cultural traditions, as well as required school work, their children Dahlton (23) and Dahkota (18) both participated in Title VII Indian Education programs since elementary school.

Toni saw the importance of such work, and after years of working as a substitute student aide, she jumped at the opportunity to become an Indian Education Tutor through the Foothill Indian Education Alliance of California. For more than six years now, Toni has adapted her nurturing style of parenting to the classroom, where she considers many of her students to be "her kids." Her support for students doesn't end in the classroom; Toni has learned how to masterfully navigate the FAFSA college application and scholarship processes. Today, Toni works in multiple school settings and serves all high school Native youth in Amador County, California.
