Ladies and Gentlemen, Ms. Toya Turner Most would equate her phenomenal performances to such notables like Sanaa Lathan, Juliette Lewis or even Angelina Jolie, but Toya Turner is a box office wonder in the making as she commands attention with every project she takes on and masters. Hailing from Chicago, IL, Toya exemplifies a fresh and innovative approach when it comes to the fine art of acting and highlights her tenacity and supreme talent with much skill and versatility on the stage and big screen. Utilizing her gift, she is a full representation of the notion that it is indeed possible to promote positivity while achieving the highest plateau of success within the film industry without compromising your morality, self-respect and sense of purpose. Acting is deemed a second nature passion for her and she has set her sights and standards to making her mark above and beyond the next level of greatness. Being in high demand as the Windy City’s up-and-coming diamond in the ruff, nationwide film industry insiders, colleagues and executives alike definitely have an eye on her ability to execute a script and bring it to life with gracious stage presence, sophistication and integrity. Eager to showcase her professional diversity, Toya performs her own stunts and makes it known that she is continuously being a student of her craft by implementing other tools to progress her future such as learning Spanish, taking martial arts lessons as well as various other ‘gems’ to add to her repertoire. She looks forward to the future and wants to delve more into all film genres, which include action-packed, drama and comedy works. Truly, a star is born!
