My name is Toccara and I’m from Dayton, Ohio. I always knew that I wanted to be in front of the camera. I can’t sing, so I thought about modeling. Every year I would go to the agencies in New York, and they were always telling me no. After finding my look I got with a big name agency, but they ended up dropping me. America’s Next Top Model was my breakthrough. There was never a time during the show where I wanted to give up, it just became a point where I felt that my destiny was out of my control. But I always seen the positive side of everything in my life, that’s why I can’t take no for an answer. The best thing that I can do is be the best me. With my energy and drive I can’t let a situation hold me down. I’m focused man.
