One of the Our Town Podcast’s most requested guests is this week’s guest, Toni Eberhart. Toni and her family relocated to Huntsville in 2013 and, like so many others, have no plans to live anywhere else. Toni walks us through her journey of growing up in PA, meeting her husband Chad in high school, going to school in Philly, and then starting her career in Baltimore. But, she wanted to be with Chad, who had moved to Huntsville. Just as Toni poured all of her efforts to get to HSV, she has also put much time and attention to non-profits like Urban Engine and Launch 2035 – to name just a couple. She currently works for BAH and loves the work she is doing for NASA. However, as much as she loves to be involved with her work and her community her family comes first. Toni talks about the pain that has come to her after losing both her parents in the past 6 years but also the joy that remains in her relationship with her sisters. In addition to her success as a hip hop artist and snowboarder, Toni’s niece, Miranda, will be on tour as the Emcee of the Harlem Globetrotters in 2023.
