Synopsis

LaToya Forever ─ Life, love and laughter with a great YouTube star

YouTube star: LaToya "LaToya Forever" Ali has been putting a smile on people’s faces since 2009 when she first picked up a video camera and started sharing her fascinating thoughts, hilarious stories and moments from her life. She soon became one of the great YouTube stars. A hugely successful black woman as well as great YouTube star, LaToya continues to capture the hearts of millions with her playful, quirky, and inspirational vlog (and with the help of her adorable daughter and loving husband).

How she became LaToya Forever: However, LaToya didn’t always fit in. In this no-hold-barred inspirational memoir, she carefully looks back on her journey from friendless to “internet famous,” and her step-by-step journey from self-consciousness to self-loving. In her words, “Just being able to connect with people from all walks of life. My videos have made an impact...I feel like I’m making a positive change in the world.”

About this title

About the Author

In early 2010, LaToya Ali entered the online social scene capturing the hearts of video viewers from all around the world. LaToya’s charisma and incredible wit are among the few traits she is known for when expressing her candid opinions. Born in Toronto, Canada, to Trinidadian parents, LaToya is the eldest of eight children. When she entered middle school, her mother decided to pursue a college education in the United States. While continuously having to pack up her bags to move, she was forced to lose the opportunity to develop strong relationships with friends. With the desire to express her feelings, LaToya picked up a digital camera and began recording an open diary video series on YouTube. Today, LaToya is humble to be able to attract more than 200M views and currently over 1.7M avid subscribers on her YouTube channels. Her work online has led to numerous career opportunities, such as media appearances both in print and on screen and has collaborated with over 50+ prolific brands.
