Tonya Todd, Ripples and their effect on Around the Table with the AOTR

https://open.spotify.com/episode/4O3tgI99KnkALUR3wsJt4h?si=TNbAeUciTwiHE7yZRqtIWw This evening, we had the pleasure of speaking with the radiant Tonya Todd, and what a conversation it was. We were captivated by her forthcoming Dracula retelling, told through Mina Murray’s lens, not as a passive figure, but as an informed, educated woman of agency. It promises to be a powerful reimagining, and so did the rest of Tonya’s sage insights. Her presence was a balm and a spark, deeply appreciated by Kindra Sowder, Beverly L. Anderson and me. We’ll be delighted to speak with her again.

Tonya crafts stories about passionate women and the lovers obsessed with them, exploring the infinite hues of desire, relationship, and the human heart.

As an author, actress, and activist, she’s fiercely committed to fair representation in literature and film, championing marginalized voices and creating space for diverse stories to flourish.
