’30 Goin on 21′: Toya Wright Knocks Fans Out the Park with Ageless Beauty

Social media apparently can’t get enough of Toya Wright’s girlish appearance.

The television personality turned back the hands of time with a gorgeous beauty shot of herself. She took to Instagram on Saturday evening and posted a photo of her green screen appearance, seemingly for season 3 of “T.I. & Tiny: Friends & Family Hustle.” She opted for a high-glam makeup look, including a smoky eye and a pink lipstick.

Wright wore her hair in wet and wavy tresses and rocked a black and metallic floral dress that accentuated her figure. She captioned her post with a wave emoji and drummed up more than 27,000 likes.

Wright’s diet and fitness regime seemingly plays a huge part in her youthful appearance.

She and her partner Robert “Red” Rushing have been on a fitness binge this year to get healthier and step up their fitness game. Earlier this year, Wright was also on a mission to shed a few pounds.

On season 2 of “Friends and Family Hustle,” the couple talked about making health and fitness a priority for themselves this year. Episodes even showed the twosome’s intense workout sessions with fitness trainer Kory Phillips, including cable machines with pull-downs, crossovers, rowing and curls. They also used squat machines and bosu balls for balance.

Before the 36-year-old mother’s lifestyle change this year, she decided to switch over to a somewhat healthier lifestyle after she was diagnosed with fibroids, which are muscular tumors that grow in the wall of the uterus. She began eating healthier and exercising more to help relieve the symptoms.

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

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

Still independent.

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.
