Aug. of 2010. I went into promo- tional modeling by myself. I took a step out on fate, and haven't looked back yet. One of my motivational motto's I replay in my head daily is: "The sky's the limit." It keeps me to keep working hard towards my self set goals. I'm heavily involved in giving back, so once every few months, I hold a free one-week model training class, for youth ages 2-17 years of age. During the training, the youth are taught the basics of modeling, posture, do's and don'ts of modeling on the runway and behind the scenes. Any event that I do, if possible, I try to in- clude my children in it as well. My children are very fond of the camera, and my daughter loves the runway. Also, they love to meet new people as well. Maintaining a happy relationship while being a businesswoman, isn't easy at all. But with a lot of Trust, understanding, and support from him, we make it work. As with my children, my spouse is heavily involved with my business. I love his opinion, and that he is secure with himself. Communication is the key to making any relationship work. Also, he loves to see me handling business. Toya E. is available for: Hosting, promoting any event, or to model in a video, fashion or a rip da runway show.
