I bring events to life and challenge misconceptions via a mixture of truth, humour and lightness of touch
I come prepared, and make sure that everyone enjoys themselves through a mixture of good humour and great timing. June Sarpong, MBE, described me as a "Phenomenal MC" following the Smart Works Gala Ball at which I introduced her.
With a relaxed style that draws audiences in and puts the panel at ease, I facilitate lively and engaging conversations.
Using my raw experience as a base and a stand-up style of delivery, I explore topics including the truth about social mobility, being a woman in business, breaking down barriers and challenging stereotypes.
As a writer, I help people to express themselves online and offline in a voice that is truly their own. From scripting speeches to ghost writing blog posts, my ability to listen, understand and succinctly capture your thoughts saves you time and gives you something that looks, and sounds, just like you.
Toni was compère at our 2019 annual Summit - Arise. Toni carried the event with warmth, passion and great humour. I am sure her 'Middle Class Gangster' rap will remain a favourite of many for years to come!
Toni brought more than a slice of magic to the #Arise2019 summit on Saturday as a compere. She brought the dog walking blues, poetry and middle class gangster rap. Authenticity in action with heaps of ‘hum’... humour, humility, humanness (is that a word?) She expertly absorbed key messages from each speaker and reinforced these at points to keep the day moving so if you need an MC or compere for an event, highly recommend checking her out and looking for some of her poetry.
Toni, with the year that this country has had so far, we all needed cheering up and you've done just that! Thank you for a fabulous performance.
Toni, you were an absolutely fantastic compère - you managed to put the panel at ease, engage the audience and ultimately provide a very entertaining evening!

How many times have you been to an event and been disappointed with the keynote speakers? Perhaps you’ve sat through five presentations and only one has stood out. Feels like a waste of time eh? On Saturday, I had the very rare experience of compering an event where every single speaker was first class. It…
Apparently we’ve all got a book inside us but if we only try the traditional publishing route, the saying that “many of us will die with the song still inside us” becomes true. Self-publishing remedies this, and has opened the door for many more of us to share our stories without the pain of endless…
What do you call a group of graduates? For some, the preferred collective noun is “bunch”. This could be an unconscious way of putting them in their place as they enter a business, or a way to reflect presumed youthfulness, energy and vitality….”bunch” has a bouncy feel when you say it. Whatever the reason, in collectively grouping people…
From taboo topics to fights with tights, my books cover it all.
