Tonya Ingram Death, Obituary – As a result of the passing of Tonya Ingram, who was both a close friend and a regular work colleague, we are in a state of tremendous mourning. Tonya served as a tremendously illuminating model for each and every one of us. Given that Tonya is a poet and an advocate for mental health, her influence will continue to echo for some time to come. We consider ourselves tremendously fortunate to have been given the chance to learn under Tonya’s guidance and to work together with her over the course of so many years.
One of the most memorable experiences for all of us was when Tonya was a member of the shooting team for Button’s camera during the 2014 National Poetry Slam. This experience was also shared by countless other filming crews for the Get Lit Classic Slam. The celebration of all the enchantment that Tonya bestowed upon us will continue in its current form. Rest well, friend. As a result of the passing of Tonya Ingram, who was both a close friend and a regular work colleague, we are in a state of tremendous mourning.
