Tonilyn

.. LOVE IS REVOLUTIONARY...IT'S OKAY TO SING ABOUT IT...
Tonilyn A. Sideco, the youngest of four daughters born to Pilipino immigrant parents, is a native San Franciscan who grew up in the Sunset District. A Debbie Gibson wannabe and tomboy to the core, Toni followed in her sisters’ footsteps towards athleticism, the stage, and a higher education. She focused her academic energy earning a degree in Sociology and Women’s Studies while playing lacrosse at UCLA. During that time, Toni decided that she would work to make the experiences of queer youth of color more visible. Since then, she has helped create safe spaces for queer API youth at Ohana House in L.A and has previously served as the coordinator of the go/GET OUT queer youth program at the Richmond Village Beacon. Constantly amazed by the strength and tenacity of youth amidst the barriers of all forms of oppression, Toni enjoys breaking people out of their idleness through social justice/community theater, filmmaking through the Queer Women of Color Media Arts Project, and by engaging in conversations that build bridges. You can find her draining 3’s on the basketball court, randomly singing while eating Mitchell’s ice cream, and checking out cafes and performance spaces in the Bay.
