Why NOT YOU N*gga?? TonyaTko Speaks on Tragedy & Hardship

[veerleke]

Hey tonya! this was so funny and inspirational! what a killer for self-pity you just created! Beautiful; By teh way.. you don't just talk, you sing, preach, lullaby, act, storytell, joke, comfort, teach, hypnotize, your stories are epic in the literal sense of the word epic. I love it.

[TonyaTko]

@veerleke Thank you so much Veer! :))

[kglove08]

Hi TKO! Yet again you give "life giving" advice to carry me through the day. Sometimes its so hard to follow your words of wisdom when faced with daily onslaught of racism in the workplace. As a single black woman who has to face the onslaught everyday on my own, what advice would you give on how to "keep on moving, don't stop!" So many times, I just want to give up...

[TheDmorrow32]

NIGGERS!!!!!



[Sabriyah21]

I like the long videos--ur my friend in my head--sounds crazy I know but Wendy Williams gets away with it on national TV--so I fugure it's no too too crazy.  nice videos

Stay well, get to know the one Giod who created us all, and be greatful

[sweetpea2832]

I think the n word is soo unnecessary in soo many ways..the word itself should be erased from meaning in the dictionary and from the mouths of everyone who uses it.

[doctawho]

I have fell in love with this woman. But, let's move on.... You may not have seen Uptown Saturday Night. Those are the exact words Richard Pryor's character, Sharp Eye Washington, used on Sidney Portier in the movie when he got caught up with the police and he asked rich why he did it. I guess Spike Lee adopted it for shock value in Malcolm X.

[charliehamill1]

i love you tonya... woo! you lift my day!

[LatinSoulLady]

Tonya, God bless you, You are such a blessing. I needed to hear this video.

[deja2049]

also said 'the world was created just for me.' this is the meaning of life for each unique soul in the unique universe. the longer i live the less im surprised. i saw

a hobo on the bus that looked a lot like

charles manson in the 60s. acted like

him. copycat nutball or was it just for me?

bet the biggest surprise is when i die i'll

come back home to my source whatever\

that is like. maybe each life is a unique

play. anyway if you read this you are great

inside and out.

[IISeleneII]

HUGS :)

[mikestamlo]

y the hoodie?

[TonyaTko]

MAN! I look so good dark skinned!!! :-D

-Tko

[BigMarsh]

You just look good period. Regardless of skin tone.

[xShelzaliciousx]

[coolhandsbam]

agreed with DmasterF, its rly inspirational :)

[lustporn]

Im glad my friend sent this to me im straight up in tears I feel like you talking directly to me

[DmasterF]

This is surprisingly very inspirational!

[SuthernGyrl]

I really needed to see this. Thank you! I was pondering the same question yesterday, why me. Now I evaluate and say. Why NOT ME?! Speak girl.

[loki3965]

Tonya i call it destiny because some people are put in situations that will affect other people for good look at our black leaders like Martin Luther King, Malcolm X,AND OTHERS WHO PAVED THE WAY TO FULFILL THEIR DESTINY

[VibeAsia]

Amen sista!!

[weightlossjournal86]

Wow, didn't recognize you, You lost a lot of weight.

[poobearpanda345]

thanks for the comment you left on my page a year ago. I don't remeber being upset about anything but it was nice :)

[IamFaithSoulSistah]

You are too long-winded and you ramble too much. Learn to be succinct for god's sake.

[Youngmessage]

17:45 How could someone not wanna watch this room she is truth and her beauty radiates insides and out many of this videos have allowed me to add to my design of myself to working toward becoming the masterpiece god intended of me. Much love Tonya

[GunStreets]

God will never give you more than what you can bear.

[GunStreets]

God will never give you more than what you can bear.

''Type'' with me yall

[YOKE14]

A

Send me some sexy pics of u.

I bet your afriad.

[Greendestiny122388]

Your video is a representation of two commonly known quotes:

1. Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

2. God will never give you more than what you can bear.

: )

[therealmccoyshow]

Powerful!

[RedSyren]

Thank you so much on so many levels. You will be getting a video from me soon :)

[Tonderella]

ain't that the truth girl!

[megamanprime2]

In reality, time and unforeseen occurence befalls us all. It doesn't matter if we're rich or poor. The race doesn't belong to the swift or strong. But in harmony with your message, we have the power to make the best of our circumstances without letting our circumstances make us.  You hug like an Auntie by the way.

[miel001]

yes - cute hoody. Hey, how often are you drinking out of plastic? you may want to do some research. Plastic leaches chemicals they mimick estrogen. I went to a lecture by a Naturopathic MD. She said get rid of your plastic bottles. and there's some reports on CNN. They're saying you can't lose weight for the chemicals you're taking in from the plastic.

[TonyaTko]

What are the alternatives to drinking from plastic? Plastic seems to be everywhere :*(

-Tko

[Popadibs]

Your video made me think of "why not you?" from another perspective...

hmm

care to hear?

[Silentbutdeadly07]

Preach it, sista!! Why not me? I know thats right. Very upliftin words girl.

[vivey623]

i said that today because i was suppose to take a class and my other half didnt assist me as he was suppose to so it caused me to be late! now i have to drop the class and wait. im pissed because i dont get enough support and i cannot understand why me! why is it that when i want to move forth i am always pushed back; and the doors keeps closing right in my face!!! this is right on time

[butterluv9]

thanks for the message, keep the videos coming. love you

[ytilive]

I love you, you always make me feel like you are speaking from MY heart. I get passionate like you when speaking of these things that really touch me too. You get me teary, not in a bad way but in a good way knowing that there is someone else out there that feels like I do. *BIG HUG* All my love.

[NativeOfAfrica]

Sleep problems, traceable to internet use

[nutnbtlv67]

Love the color Tonya. REALY there is no color outside of maybe some neon that wouldnt look good on you. you just have one of them faces.

As for dealing with tragedy and hardship. I would direct us all to the story of a tragedy that we all faced and one that we really had no real hope of victory over. Y? beause we are all LAWBREAKERS and we have to see ourselves as such. But someone stepped in and paid the fine for US out of LOVE. Without HIM OUR victory is only temporary.

JESUS IS HIS NAME

[07GSXR1G]

Im loving this!!!

[nutnbtlv67]

what ya luv about it. please tell me

[Bisou32]

I love it when you make these videos,,,,,,it always, always comes at the right time............

[jaid33444]

You do look really thin in this camera.. or are you just working out over there and not telling us ...lol

Blessed

[jaid33444]

Yes God will never give you more than you can handle, But there are somethings in our lives that We put ourselves through instead of listening to the wise we sometimes think what we want to do is better for us ""Grass greener idea"" but its does not always turn out that way.. Life it what you make of it and if you have FAITH you will understand that you have to make your life truly worth living so that Jesus's death is not in vain.

He came and died for us WHY NOT live for him.

Blessed

[horsesinnyc]

big dog? what model? Love the hoodie.

[LadyLee32]

Thank you so much

[9961269]

[shushannab143]

God doesn't give you more than you can bare

[rdloco]

seeexyy!! wow

[wetseven]

whats going on?

[PClaytonHuggins]

One of the things I have found since coming home is that Nevis isn't for everyone. The people who seem to thrive here (particularly expats) are those who are aware of the spiritual dimension to life. Welcome home.

[BicWild]

Cause I got the hottest abs in the world!!!!

[jujajun99]

Thank you sweetheart. Hugs right back. Hope you feel it - be blessed. I love you and love your messages. I just realised today that I have you when I am not currently in a conversation w/ fam

[Free6969]

THANKS SO MUCH tonya for this..

[tash777]

What you are saying is SOOOOOO true! My fam and I are going through something right now...actually a week ago today. My mom got into a bad accident and almost died with the gos and carbonmynoxide. Long story but...God allows things to happen to us, 1 to make us stronger...and 2. because someone ..SOMEONE is going through something RIGHT now and needs to be encouraged by seeing YOU..MAKE IT THROUGH!!! It's never all about us...never.

oh oh oh...and HUGS back lol

[1Sw33tBerrie]

The red color suits you, even though you are trying to hide it under the hoodie. :p i have an internal clock, never had to use an alarm. I just wake up when my body says enough sleep already. Plus if I sleep to long I start aching.

[sunnywaterfalls]

tonya, you are a truly blessed speaker, and an amazingly beautiful spirit. I think the islands really suit you, despite the situation. You have a certain ease/relaxation about you that was missing before. I hope you don't have to cut your trip short. Much blessings to you. You're beautiful, inside and out

[beanzor390]

Tonya I could listen to you speak all day, your messages are always so motivational! Thanks again for a great video girl :)
