Together with her mother Bernice Johnson Reagon, she has created two operas with director Robert Wilson. Toshi co-composed music for two Peabody Award-winning films & received a NYFA Award for Music Composition, the 2010 OutMusic Heritage Award, & The Black Lily Music & Film Festival Award for Outstanding Performance. She is a National Women’s History Month honoree & was named a 2015 Art of Change Fellow by the Ford Foundation.
