00:00
So excited for your new show.
00:01
I love a good mother daughter series.
00:04
Obviously you both are so busy with various things
00:09
in your lives.
00:10
Why was now the time to do a reality show?
00:12
- Well, because we were actually presented
00:19
the opportunity, talked over with the WE tv team.
00:24
And we just thought it would be a good time to do it.
00:27
Like now that Reginae has her things going on in her life,
00:31
I have different things I'm working on in my life.
00:33
We thought, why not?
00:35
- Was there anything, as you were like,
00:41
I guess ahead of the show,
00:42
was there anything that was ever off limits with the show?
00:46
- Anything that was ever off limits?
00:50
- In your life.
00:51
- I can't think right now.
00:58
- I feel like, you know,
01:00
I don't think it's like more off limits.
01:02
I just feel like just in general,
01:05
it don't matter who you are,
01:06
you gonna put, when you put people on your life,
01:11
you put them in your life to a certain extent.
01:13
And I feel like that goes for anybody,
01:14
a camera person, anything.
01:17
So it's just, you know, we put what we wanted out there,
01:20
which I feel like everyone should do with anything.
01:23
- Absolutely.
01:24
And I know Reginae,
01:25
you focus a lot on your relationship in the series,
01:28
you know, was there,
01:29
and I know that you both have been, you know,
01:31
open about your relationship in the past.
01:33
Was there any hesitation to put your relationship
01:36
in the limelight in this way?
01:38
- I feel like it's always the hesitation
01:45
to put relationships out, period.
01:47
Because you just never know
01:48
how people are gonna just accept it.
01:50
You never know.
01:51
People, they say they're happy for you,
01:53
but they really don't be happy for you all the time.
01:55
So of course I was just like,
01:57
uh, you know, I didn't really know how it was,
02:01
but we were already on YouTube.
02:04
So I feel like we already put our life out there already.
02:08
So this was just another chapter.
02:11
- Another chapter for you guys.
02:13
- Just another chapter.
02:14
- Toya, you, you know, obviously are a mother to Reginae
02:18
and also a young daughter, Rain.
02:21
What's the biggest difference between these two?
02:24
- I think they both have bubbly personalities.
02:29
Rain is just like a little,
02:33
she's a little old lady.
02:36
Like we just, she just keeps us laughing.
02:38
She has like the biggest personality.
02:42
I think with Reginae,
02:45
I guess I was like much younger raising her,
02:47
and with Rain, you know, I'm older.
02:50
So it's like, it's just different.
02:52
It's just, it's just different.
02:54
I don't know.
02:55
It's just, it's a difference this time around,
02:57
but they are similar.
02:58
Everybody tell me I had the same kid twice.
03:01
- I love that.
03:02
(laughing)
03:03
Reginae, what's it like being a big sister,
03:06
you know, to Rain?
03:08
- Oh my gosh, I love it.
03:10
First of all, I have, I have three little brothers.
03:13
They're like 13, 14 in that area.
03:16
So it's like, I love being a big sister,
03:19
but when I have Rain, a girl,
03:21
when the first girl came, I was like,
03:24
first I was hesitant because you know,
03:25
you always want to be the only girl.
03:27
But then I'm like, she's literally my mini me.
03:30
Like we, I call her, FaceTime her,
03:33
like I'll call my mom just to talk to her sometimes.
03:36
Like that's literally my best friend.
03:38
Like I love her.
03:39
She's, she's really mini me.
03:42
- Is there anything you two,
03:45
I have a very close relationship with my mother.
03:48
Is there anything that you two, I guess,
03:50
like don't always see eye to eye on
03:52
or even through this show realize like,
03:55
hey, like we were kind of on different sides of things.
03:58
- Of course.
03:59
And you know, I think every mother and daughter
04:01
relationship goes through that, like the differences.
04:04
It was like back in the day, of course it was worse,
04:07
but now that you know, Reginae is the,
04:10
she's grown up so much and she's grown now.
04:13
Our relationship is, you know, it's different.
04:16
We, we, we understand like the disagreements now.
04:19
Like we'd be like, okay, I don't agree with that.
04:21
And we realize it's okay to disagree.
04:23
You know, we not gonna always, you know,
04:25
agree on everything.
04:26
And now we able to move better with this.
04:30
Like, okay, I get it, but I don't,
04:32
I don't really agree with that.
04:33
Oh, I hear you up, but I'm not, you know, and it's fine.
04:38
- And I feel like you're,
04:39
the relationship evolves as you get, you know,
04:42
better and wiser and whatnot.
04:45
How does your dad feel about the show?
04:48
- Oh, my dad is always very supportive in everything I do.
04:52
I feel like he's always my number one supporter,
04:55
always clapping for me.
04:57
So he feels, he's happy for me.
05:00
- Do you think he'd ever make an appearance on the show?
05:03
- I don't know.
05:04
You guys will have to see.
05:07
You have to stay tuned.
05:08
- Okay.
05:10
And I know in the first episode,
05:11
you talk about your acting career,
05:12
which is something you're very passionate about.
05:14
Were you ever interested in music?
05:17
- So, yes, I was in a group when I was younger
05:23
called OMG Girls, and then I branched off a little bit,
05:27
doing little stuff with my best friend.
05:31
And then I started doing a little solo.
05:33
I did a song with my dad.
05:35
But acting is really for me.
05:39
I like to play around with music.
05:41
Like, I'll go in the studio with my friends and just play,
05:44
but I love acting.
05:45
That's where it, acting in my clothing line,
05:48
I fit in just putting different things out on YouTube.
05:52
That's me.
05:53
- Okay.
05:54
Is there anybody that you would love to work with
05:56
in terms of acting?
05:58
- Oh my gosh.
06:00
Angela Bassett,
06:01
Idris Elba,
06:04
Taraji P. Henson.
06:08
Oh, so many, so many.
06:10
I have so many, so many.
06:13
- Okay.
06:14
And Antoya, you are happily married.
06:16
And what is the secret to just a really successful marriage?
06:21
Like, how are you guys doing today?
06:22
- I think the secret to a successful marriage
06:26
is just communication.
06:28
Like, just being friends with that person first.
06:32
'Cause some days you might be like,
06:34
oh, I don't wanna be around, but that's my friend.
06:35
Like, we gonna talk about everything.
06:37
And no relationship, no marriage is perfect.
06:41
And we understand that.
06:43
You work through your differences,
06:44
but the key is being friends
06:46
and having a bomb level of communication.
06:50
'Cause that's usually when things go wrong,
06:52
when the communication is off.
06:55
- You know, and I know you have Rain and Reginae,
06:57
but have you opened more kids or are you done with two?
07:01
- Oh boy.
07:03
Yeah, that's a whole 'nother day.
07:05
Yeah, maybe.
07:10
- Maybe.
07:11
And I know in the show, you're taking in your teenage niece.
07:15
Is she living with you?
07:17
- Yeah, she's off to college now.
07:18
We just sent her, well, drove her to school, what, last week?
07:23
She goes to, yeah, she's in college, Troy University.
07:27
- What was that like having a teenager
07:29
like just plop back in your house again?
07:32
- I love it.
07:33
My niece is such a beautiful girl.
07:36
Like, she didn't give us any problems.
07:39
She, you know, my little one is so attached to her also.
07:44
You know, my brother passed away.
07:45
I took her in and I raised her like my own.
07:48
And like to see her off to college,
07:50
it just makes me so proud.
07:52
- I love that.
07:54
And, you know, you guys,
07:55
like after filming the first season, you know,
07:57
are you guys open to continuing the show?
08:00
Would you wanna keep, you know,
08:01
the cameras on for a second season?
08:03
- Yeah, I mean, it wouldn't be bad.
08:07
Yeah, who wasn't?
08:08
It was good working with the team,
08:11
really good working with the team.
08:13
So yeah, definitely.
08:15
- Same for you?
08:17
- Yeah, definitely.
08:21
- Well, I am so excited for everyone
08:23

08:25

08:27
introducing us, you know, into your lives,
08:30
your inner lives,
08:31
and showing us a different side of you guys,
08:35
which is always amazing.
08:37
So thank you both so much for taking the time.
08:40
