Antonia “Toya” Carter and her fiance’ Memphitz cover the February 2011 issue of Sister2Sister magazine.
I have to note that the adorable cover shot and several photos of the happy couple in the spread were taken by none other than my partner in crime, super celebrity photographer Joi Pearson! [Yaaaay Joi!!]
In the issue Toya discusses love, life and reality TV. As you know, Toya is headed back to the small screen in her BET reality show spinoff debuting April 2011.
Check out the trailer for Toya’s “Family Affair” PLUS an excerpt from the S2S interview below:

On Lil’ Wayne:
“Yeah, we’re really, really cool. Wayne actually did the foreword for my book. It’s like, him and MeMphHitz met and now everything is all good.”

On her boyfriend, MeMpHitz:
“Yes he’s like sexy chocolate. (laughter) I’m kidding. He’s a family guy and that’s what I love. Like, he was raised by both parents until his father passed away. He’s very well-mannered. He’s not selfish. He’s 100 percent supportive. He’s a good friend…everything I ever wanted in a man.
You can tell it’s a difference when a guy grows up with both of their parents. Like, everything was ‘yes ma’am, yes sir.’ Respectful, like, ‘Let me open the door for you.’ These days, guys think that is lame when that’s really being a gentleman. He shows me and my daughter lots of respect. And you know, I love that about him. You don’t get that too much these days.”

On her book:
“The name of the book is Priceless Inspirations. It’s about my life and growing pains and things I chose to share with younger girls. An example is teen pregnancy; domestic violence, drugs, the business-the list goes on. Relationships, boys-it’s all types of stuff, like heart break. Just everything that I have been through that has made me the woman that I am today. Like, sometimes people say you have to go through things to kind of get it. Like, nobody could tell me not to have my baby, even though everybody was against it and felt like I was a child having a child. I had to experience that. These little boys want one thing, but I still did what I wanted to do. It was just me being younger.
But sometimes stories can help you versus your parents or older people trying to tell you thing. Sometimes we feel like, “That happened to you but that don’t apply to us; that was back in the old days.” With my book I just wanted to do something inspirational. I named my book Priceless Inspirations because my name, Antonia, means ‘priceless’ in Italian.”
That’s impressive. It’s great that Toya is finally stepping outside of the shadow of her famous ex-husband. I wish her nothing but the best and can’t wait to see what the new show has in store for us.
Stay tuned…

GREAT LOOK FOR TOYA AND HER HUBBY!! Good to hear that she has a good relationship with Wayne after the fact:)

I hope her mother stays clean this time. This is soooo a rehash of Keyshia Coles’ The Way It Is. I like Keyshia’s family better than Toya’s.
Congratulations Toya & she finally having her own "voice" & "individuality". I think she is a beautiful young woman that deserve a chance to do all the things she want to do for her and her daughter with the right support system & and love.
Peace!!
She upgraded in a major way! He is FINE! Unlike that critter she used to be married to!
I have a lot of respect for Toya, and i’m really glad that she’s doing what makes her happy, and apparently FAMILY really is important to her, and I hope her family appreciates what she’s trying to build with them involved.
Memphitz looks a lot better with Toya than that midnight colored TROLL DOLL adorned with horrible tattoos,she used to be married too! LOL!
I’m Just Sayin! LOL!
I happy to see that Toya is doing well but why is it when you talk about Toya Lil Wayne name pops up in the conversation

I enjoy and look forward to watching both of your shows. All of you guys seem like very humble, respectable and down to earth people. You have share your issues and how you can overcome them and I think that’s special. I saw you two at the Bronner Bros hair show in Atlanta today…and I say you didn’t act any different from what we see on t.v. and I feel the love you have towards your fans and its genuine. Continue to keep God first and then your family. Much Love.
