Messages I Love Sharing
Every message can be tailored to your event’s length, theme, and audience.
Hope Is Still There
I’ve learned that hope doesn’t always look the way we expect it to. Sometimes it’s quiet. Sometimes it’s just taking the next step. I want people to leave knowing that even if they can’t see hope today, it doesn’t mean it’s gone.
Your Story Isn’t Over
Life has a way of making us believe the hardest chapter is the end of the story. I’ve learned it isn’t. If there’s one thing I hope people leave with, it’s the belief that God is still writing their story.
Living Beyond Survival
For a long time, I thought getting through the day was enough. Eventually I realized God wasn’t asking me to survive my life—He was inviting me to live it. If you’ve ever felt stuck after loss or change, this is the conversation I want to have with you.
What Audiences Can Expect
Tonika speaks the way she writes—honestly, warmly, and without pretense.
Real Stories
Honest, authentic stories drawn from real life—not rehearsed performances.
Warm Conversation
A genuine, conversational style that creates connection instead of distance.
Hope You Can Take Home
Every audience leaves with practical encouragement they can carry long after the event ends.

Common Questions
Do you charge a speaking fee?
Speaking requests are considered individually. Some organizations have speaker budgets, while others do not. If your event has a budget, feel free to include it in your inquiry. My goal is to make every opportunity a conversation.
Do you travel, and where are you based?
I’m based in Arizona, but if you think my story would be meaningful for your community, I’d love to have that conversation—whether your event is nearby, across the country, or virtual.
How long is a typical talk?
Most conversations are between 30 and 60 minutes, but I’m happy to work with you to find what fits your gathering best.
Can we talk about something specific?
Absolutely. Every gathering is different, and I’m happy to shape the conversation around your audience and what they’re walking through.
Will books be available for purchase?
Yes. Signed copies of Tonika's books can be made available for purchase at in-person events, including personalization on request.
How far in advance should we book?
Because I balance writing, speaking, and other commitments, I ask for at least 30 days’ notice whenever possible. If your event is coming up sooner, you’re still welcome to reach out—if my schedule allows, I’d be happy to explore the possibility.
I’d Love to Hear About Your Event
