Since attending one of Tonia's 4-Cornerstones to Financial Literacy workshops I have made it my
business to be a sponge anytime I hear her speak in her financial language! She has a gifted ability to
take very complicated financial concepts and strategies and present them in a way that empowers you
to take action! Her passion for this subject and compassion for her community is commendable! I
implore you to seek after her services; it makes cents!

Tonia is not only in her element, she is also in her lane and she can help anyone get into their financial lane.

When I think of Tonia Brinston; I think financial potential. Her unique financial overcoming story inspires those who are in similar situations, she gets its. She understands and empathizes yet can challenge self-limiting financial self-sabotaging beliefs.

When I think of Tonia Brinston; I think financial possibility. She has the heart for bridging the economic gap in the Twin Cities. Yet, it is her knowledge, authentic communication style, genuine desire to assist others that shines through in her presentations. She inspires others to see their own financial possibility, provides tools and resources to map out the goals they desire while simultaneously reminding them along the way you are worthy.

In my career, I help others meet their goals and transform their lives but was not reaching for my own transformation. Tonia helped me look at the big picture of my life and evolve. In doing so, I reconnected to my financial goals and eventually purchased a home, during COVID.

Tonia flawlessly aligns her purpose, talents, and passion for the financial wellbeing of others and is driven to build a wealth of knowledge for ADOS and underserved populations.

Best,

Tonia Brinston is an outstanding example of Servant Leadership! The knowledge and value she brings to the space of financial education and literacy is nothing short of phenomenal. She is a subject matter expert, and has a powerful and prolific communication style that creates a welcoming and trusting environment for her audience.

I have the honor and privilege to serve on the Board of Exodus Lending with Tonia.  She is authentic and brings her best self to every encounter which fosters an atmosphere for others to do the same. She is a dynamic leader and true gem to the Twin Cities, specifically the underserved. I have witnessed Tonia's positive impact, and this is only the beginning for her!
