‘You Always Give What Need to be Gave’: Toya Johnson Enjoys Her Vacation While Fans Enjoy Her Beauty and Vacation Outfits

Toya Johnson is having an eventful weekend out of the country, it seems, and she’s doing it in style.

She uploaded photos on March 8 wearing a Tom Ford-themed outfit. The outfit consisted of a black sheer long-sleeved bodysuit, black-and-white floral Tom Ford shorts and a black and gold Tom Ford purse. To complete the outfit, she wore black heels. Johnson’s hair was styled in one of the many go-to vacation hairstyles: feed-in braids.

Johnson’s friend Yandy Smith-Harris, who is also a cast member of “Love and Hip Hop,” “That bawdy😍” on Johnson’s page.

Someone commented under Johnson’s photo about a specific part of her body. They said, “Toya got the prettiest legs an feet out there🔥🔥🔥🔥.” Another fan said, “😍😍 you always give what need to be gave! My sis!!”

It’s not clear when exactly she left for her trip, but she began posting about it on March 5 with an IG post sitting on the stairs with her bags packed, so it could be assumed that that is when she left. On March 6, the mother of two posted a short video and said that her location was Cancún, Quintana Roo. With her fiancé or children nowhere to be found, fans questioned what the purpose was for her trip. She later said, in the caption of one of her posts, that she actually went out of the country to celebrate the birthday of her little sister, Anisha Johnson.

Another recognizable face there was former Destiny Child member and friend of Toya Johnson, Letoya Luckett. According to Toya, her younger sister and Luckett “share the same birthday week so it’s only right we celebrate together! 🎉 #goodtimes.”

So far, the ladies, with a few other of their friends, have been pretty adventurous. They went riding on jet skis, a boat and they have been parasailing.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
