Early life and education

Makinwa was born on 3 November 1984 in Lagos state. She went to high school in Federal Government Girls' College Oyo, Oyo State and graduated from the University of Lagos where she earned her Bachelor of Arts in English Language and Literature.

Career

Makinwa did not renew her contract with Flytime TV for the second season and was subsequently replaced by her radio colleague Omalicha.[15]


The year 2012 also saw her launch a still-running vlog series, Toke Moments[16] on YouTube. Through Toke Moments[17], she built a community and became a lifestyle influencer with her views on all things related to relationships, style and living.[18]

Author - On Becoming

Toke grew into a lonely young adult after losing her both parents to a fire accident at the age of eight.[29] Her memoir, On Becoming[30] which was released in November 2016 saw Toke Makinwa walk us through her personal struggles, dealing with the betrayal of her now ex-husband, Maje Ayida[31] and drawing strength from her faith in God. The book became an Amazon bestseller[32] and took her on tour across Nigeria[33], to South Africa, East Africa, London and the U.S.[34][35][36][37]

Entrepreneur - Toke Makinwa Luxury

In 2017, Toke launched a handbag line under her eponymous label, Toke Makinwa Luxury[38]. The leather bag currently selling online is available in various colours.[39]

As a person who champions the need to be true to oneself[40], in 2018, Toke went ahead to monetize the sentiment of her critics[41] with the launch of her skincare product, Glow by TM.[42]

Endorsements

In 2013, Makinwa became an ambassador of the United Africa Company of Nigeria alongside Osas Ighodaro, Dare Art Alade and Dan Foster.[43] She also signed a multi-million naira contract with Nestlé Nigeria to become the new face of Maggi.[44] In 2016 she became the brand ambassador and face of Mecran Cosmetics.[45] She has also been a Payporte Ambassador[46] and Ciroc’s first female ambassador in Nigeria.[47]
