Our guest this week, Toiell Washington is the co-founder of Black Boston, a community organization that aims to uplift and support Black Bostonians through educational programming, political advocacy and event planning. The organization’s mission is to “actively dismantle and fight for the elimination of racial inequities while promoting creativity and solidarity within the Black community in the Greater Boston Area.”

Adding to her body of work, Toiell founded a gaming company called, the master's tools, inspired by the social theory “the Master’s Tools Will Never Dismantle the Master’s House” by Audre Lorde, her favourite Black feminist scholar. It is through her company that Toiell aims to address systems of oppression and telling the stories of marginalized people across a range of topics and social movements.

She is a recent graduate of Salem State University where she attained her bachelor of science in sociology. In this episode, Toiell takes us down her memory lane as she unpacks her journey to founding Black Boston and personal experiences that shaped the trajectory of her life.
