Meet Toy Hawkins, a resident of the Douglas neighborhood with deep roots in Chicago, who shares her journey from Woodlawn to Hollywood as a TV producer. We discuss the evolution of her childhood neighborhood, Chicago's real estate landscape, and Toy's successful projects like "That Girl Lay Lay" and "Kingdom Business," among others. The conversation dives into the impact of Chicago's culture on her career, future goals, and the importance of family heritage. Tune in to hear about the resilience, creativity, and entrepreneurial spirit that defines Toy’s story.

The Living in Chicago Podcast is where I, Jake Lyons, get to interview all kinds of people about the Chicago neighborhoods they live in, work in, and play in. This way, you can learn about the lifestyle pros and cons of various neighborhoods directly from the people who live there (or maybe even learn something new about your own neighborhood!)
