Toya Johnson may be months away from walking down the aisle with fiancé Robert Rushing, but that didn’t stop the 38-year-old from celebrating the festivities a bit early with her close family and friends.

The couple began dating in 2017 and got engaged in 2019 in a highly publicized proposal ceremony. Almost three years following the special event, Johnson and Rushing announced in April that they had officially set their wedding date, which is scheduled for this fall.

Since then, Johnson has been preparing for her special day, including bringing all her loved ones together for a fun-filled bachelorette party in Miami, Florida. 

Several of the guests that attended the T-Valley-themed event — which was inspired by the hit Starz series P-Valley — included Monyetta Shaw, Mielle Organics CEO Monique Rodriguez, Zonnique Pullins, and Johnson’s 23-year-old daughter Reginae Carter.

In an Instagram post shared on July 20, the entrepreneur was seen lounging around on a yacht with her girls as Doja Cat’s “Get Into It (Yuh)” track played in the background.

 As the clip continued, Johnson gave fans insight into the other activities the group embarked on. The list included hanging out at the beach, eating at an undisclosed location, and participating in dare challenges.

In addition to the upload, Johnson wrote the caption, “The last sail before the veil. #Tvalley #rushingtothering.”

As Instagram users viewed the post, many expressed how happy they were about Johnson’s upcoming nuptials while sending well-wishes.

“That’s right!! Congratulations again! Continue to live your best life! You deserve it.”

“Love looks so good on you.” 

“You look like you’re having a ball! You will be a lovely bride! Cheers to finding your Prince Charming.”

“Yesss enjoy beautiful you deserve it all.”

“Love this, beautiful joy you have.”

Johnson and Rushing are set to wed on Oc. 15.

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.
