Welcome back to Threshold Moments. Today I’m excited to share an inspiring conversation with social justice professional, Toyin Augustus.
Toyin Augustus is an educator, DEI practitioner and former Olympian utilizing her skills and experience to invest in transformational social justice. In her 17 years of experience in private and public schools, Toyin has created equitable policies, encouraged inclusive practices, and facilitated educational opportunities for students, educators and adult caretakers.
Together we talk about Toyin’s first major threshold of choosing her passion for running track over pursuing a traditional career after college, and how that choice catalyzed her struggles and successes throughout her life. We also explore what’s missing from the diversity, equity, and inclusion industry, and how Toyin uses everything in her life, including motherhood, to offer more love in the face of oppressive forces.
Tune in to learn more about:
- The power of embracing the restorative nature of making mistakes
- How it is possible to become both softer and stronger as we grow older
- What it takes to not retaliate, to have boundaries, and to move with love in the face of ongoing oppression
- Why community is essential for healing in a society that over-values independence
