As if born to be adored her grace and quick wit coupled with the physical dimensions to make grown men blush and women all over the world proud of their curves are the A-1 intangibles that have helped to make Toccara an international superstar. Growing up a young lady who embraced her curves made modeling the perfect outlet in showcasing her mind-blowing figure. Her youth was highlighted by attending the prestigious Stiver’s School for the Arts where she majored in theatre and dance. Never one to lack confidence, Toccara’s goal to become the first ever African American plus size super model of the world encountered several road blocks but did not deter her from her dream. Quitting was never an option and her persistence finally paid off when the Dayton, Ohio native was chosen as one of the contestants competing on Tyra Banks’s #1 rated television show “America’s Next Top Model”.  After literally becoming an over-night sensation thanks largely in part to “America’s Next Top Model”, the show’s star and creator Tyra Banks was quoted as saying “Toccara was born to be a star”. The sheer personification of a bombshell Toccara has taken the fashion industry by storm and in the process helped make being “plus size the right size”. As the breakout success story to emerge from the top- rated TV show “America’s Next Top Model”, the voluptuous Toccara has been one of the most in demand models in the fashion industry.

So enamored with the seductive super model Mr. Trump would later state “I know good T.V. and Toccara makes great T.V.” Toccara’s ravishing beauty is what caught the attention of famed photographer Steven Meisel who photographed the to-die-for knockout in a 14 page spread for Vogue Italia in which the much popular publication was quoted as saying “Her statements on the curvy world has always been amongst the boldest and most revolutionary”. As the first plus size super model to be featured in Vogue Italia Toccara joined Naomi Campbell, Chanel Iman, Beverly Johnson, and Tyra Banks in the historic all black issue that has now become a collector’s item. No stranger to the cat walk the divine diva has ripped the runway at New York’s celebrated fashion week for clothing conglomerate “One Stop Plus”, “Curves and Contour” in London, England and a plethora of other high-end fashion extravaganzas throughout the planet. n Additionally, the super creative Toccara is currently designing a signature line of bras for full figured women. The consummate business woman Toccara recently released a hugely successful exercise DVD entitled “Toccara’s Fabulous Workout” for real size women. Living by the mantra "The earth is my turf", the future is shaping up incredibly well for entertainment’s reigning global plus size Goddess…Toccara.
