This week, Valeria is joined by her good friend and supermodel, Toni Garrn. Together, they explore the depths of Toni’s journey, from her early days in the modeling world to her current impactful role as a philanthropist. Valeria and Toni chat all things saturn return, turning 30, divorce, finding a balance between work and motherhood, and about how to find a greater purpose in life through acts of service for others.

Toni Garrn is an internationally successful supermodel, actress, philanthropist – and entrepreneur. Since the age of 15, Garrn has regularly appeared in front of the camera for well-known luxury brands. In her mid-20s, she founded the Toni Garrn Foundation, which supports educational initiatives for girls and young women in sub-Saharan Africa. Together with local partners in Ghana, Uganda and Burundi, the organization provides educational opportunities to more than 650 girls annually.

This year, Garrn also became a social entrepreneur: She founded SUPER FLEA MARKET, a platform for pre-loved celebrity fashion where every sale supports a network of social and environmental justice initiatives. http://superfleamarket.org/ will go live in May 2024.
