About Queen Tone Podcast

A podcast where all women, especially Black women, are invited to share their thoughts, opinions, and experiences with the world without being asked to check their tone. Hosted by long time friends, Dayna and Nina, listen in to hear millennial black women’s take on a different topic each week, where they bring it to you straight-- no chaser...because let’s just be real, it’s usually never actually the tone that’s too loud, but rather the truth.

   Track 04 | Around The Way Girl

   This episode is something special! Dayna and Nina sit down with Aris Singleton, CEO of tgin (Thank God It’s Natural). In this intimate conversation set LIVE in Detroit, all three ladies dive into how being from Detroit, specifically the Eastside, has shaped how they have shown up in their respective fields. The ladies catch up, get to know Aris better, and discuss how she remains true to herself, and continues to grow as one of the youngest executives and disruptors in the natural hair care game. Aris takes us through how she ensures she brings Detroit in every room that she enters, all while being a role model for little girls who look up to her. This is a conversation you do not want to miss! This live podcast taping was a part of A Planner with a Purpose’s activation weekend in Detroit, where planners, creatives, and community leaders will come together to explore how planning, culture, and community storytelling intersect, taking place during the National Planning Conference for the American Planning Association. A Planner with a Purpose is a curated set of experiences designed to support planners and civic leaders navigating an increasingly complex and demanding moment. Grounded in care, clarity, and collective power, the event creates space for honest conversation, practical tools, and connection beyond traditional professional programming.

   Track 03 | Video Phone

   In this episode, Dayna and Nina are joined by Jasmine Jones-Bynes of 4 Degrees to the Streets and Jermaine Ruffin of Streets Are Planning for a layered conversation on media literacy in the digital age. Together, they unpack what it means to navigate today’s information ecosystem—where headlines move fast, ownership shapes narratives, and bias often hides in plain sight. As millennials who’ve lived both before and after the digital boom, they explore the unique responsibility of bridging generational gaps in how we consume and interpret news. The conversation goes beyond awareness, diving into how media literacy impacts decision-making at the local, state, national, and global levels—especially within planning and community leadership spaces. If you’ve ever questioned what’s real, what’s framed, and how to stay informed without being misled, this episode gives you the tools—and the mindset—to move with clarity. —-- This episode is the second of a 3-part special podcast collaboration series bringing together three platforms that explore culture, community, and the future of our cities while centering voices of the marginalized. This collaboration series leads up to the A Planner with a Purpose’s activation weekend in Detroit, where planners, creatives, and community leaders will come together to explore how planning, culture, and community storytelling intersect, taking place during the National Planning Conference for the American Planning Association.
