Why We Love Toya Carter (Rolling Out Mag Interview Inside!)


I've become a Toya Carter fan.  To be honest, I didn't pay that much attention to her before (IKR) but her recent press promotions have shown a different side to her that we can all respect.  Read below to find out why.


EXPANDING HER PUBLIC PERCEPTION
People thought Tiny and I were gong to do a baby momma show. They only knew that I was married to Lil Wayne. But once we did season 2, they knew more about me. My life has changed, and I’m more in the public’s eye. I hear from people who are inspired by my story. I didn’t do the show to bash Lil Wayne or be labeled the mother of his first child. I will always be attached to him, but I’m doing things to better myself such as the TV show, my book and opening a clothing store.



 
HOW REALLY SHE FEELS ABOUT FAME
It's a gift and a curse, but a blessing. People feel like they really, really know you. So you get the weirdos who come up to you, ‘Oh, you looking for love? I can help you with that,' and ‘Wayne's crazy' and this and that. The plus side is you get to meet people who genuinely give you this love and open up to you so it helps people. 




SPEAKS THE TRUTH ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS
I just feel like women just go so hard. They give their all so fast. They give 100 and don’t get that in return. Relationships supposed to be equal. A lot of women didn’t grow up with the affection from their dad. So, when they find a man, they expect that man to give that to them.They look for love in all the wrong places. They never had their fathers around to say, I love you, and you’re beautiful. So, the first man to tell them, I love you, and you’re beautiful, they fall for it. That’s the biggest problem. They throw themselves on a man all the time and say, I got him. That [doesn't] work.



HOW TO RAISE A YOUNG LADY
When you have kids at a young age, your kids tend to grow up with you. So, as I was learning, she was learning, which is why she is wise beyond her years. People see my daughter and say, She is so grown. We were learning together. I couldn’t just put her off on everybody. That didn’t stop me from being a mother. I told her when she was born, I’m going to give you all I didn’t have and more.Love your kids listen to them, hear them out. People say, If you didn’t have it, you can’t give it, but that’s not true. I didn’t have [anybody], but I’m trying to be there for my daughter. talk to me because I didn’t have [anyone] to talk to.



GIRLLLL YES!!
Men have to be more respectful. This generation is just so disrespectful. They think it’s corny to open a door for a woman and just be polite. What goes around comes around. What you put out, you will get back






We respect her positive insights on dealing with life's ups and downs, raising her daughter, and being classy.  We and 1.5 million viewers as well wanna see more of our girl Antonia Carter so we'll definitely be tuning in to watch more episodes of Toya's Family Affair on BET.

Are The Kardashians a Decent Choice for Kids??


I just watched Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards with my little sister and just became annoyed with society.  I couldn't believe my eyes.  What were the Kardashian sisters doing at the awards?  No, not Kendall and Kylie, which would have been an age appropriate choice at least; but Kourtney and Kim.  Yes THOSE Kardashians.  I didn't think they were kid stars.



As we all know, the Kardashian family fame is only a byproduct of a cleverly leaked sex tape starring Kim and Ray J. A kid's network just gave a glorified porn star unwarranted airtime.  Could Nickelodeon even pretend to be responsible?  What kind of message does that send to kids, particularly young girls?  That you don't need any talents beyond your sexual abilities and looks?  That you too can get fame and recognition from a sex tape?  I'm just trying to get it..

As a big sister, I didn't approve of that message at all. 


No tea, no shade, just reality. Did you see the 2011 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards?  Do you mind your kids watching Kim Kardashian?  Drop me a line and tell me what's good.
