‘Perfection’: Toya Wright Blows Fans Out of the Water with Stunning Snapshot

“How to Lose a Husband” author Toya Wright sent social media users overboard this week with a photo showcasing her flawless beauty.

The mother of two took to Instagram on Monday evening and posted an up-close-and-personal selfie of herself. The photo showed off her slicked edges, half-up, half-down hairdo and subtle glam makeup look, including a brown eye shadow and nude lipstick.

Wright was dressed casually, sporting a white “L’Amore” T-shirt and a handful of accessories, including a gold watch, a diamond cross necklace and a pair of gold D&G earrings. She captioned her selfie, “Golden ✨✨.”

Many fans attributed Wright’s radiant appearance to her recent health and fitness journey. She went public about a goal to shed 15 pounds in February, when she shared a before and after picture of herself and thanked fitness trainer Kory Phillips for helping her.

She also switched over to a healthier diet in 2017 after she was diagnosed with fibroids, which are muscular tumors that grow in the wall of the uterus.

“I had to switch it up because I used to eat all types of stuff and I would just get bigger,” she told People Magazine in 2017. “I had to scale back and eat healthier things like fish and salads.”

Wright added, “I found exercising has been more helpful in relieving the symptoms.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
