Media personality Toke Makinwa has dedicated her daughter, Yakira Eliana, fondly called Yaya, in a beautiful and lavish church ceremony.
The 40-year-old TV and radio host shared a heartwarming video of herself and her baby on Instagram on Sunday with the caption, “Yaya goes to church TM X.” The clip showed Toke and her daughter elegantly dressed for the special occasion.
The post quickly drew reactions from fans and fellow celebrities, who flooded her comment section with congratulatory messages. The private event was attended by close friends and family members.
Toke welcomed her daughter in August, announcing the news with an emotional post about motherhood, healing, and rediscovery.
“My daughter brought me healing. She is daily healing parts of me I didn’t even know needed healing — healing from my childhood trauma, from grief I thought I had dealt with a long time ago,” she shared at the time.
Toke Makinwa’s journey to motherhood has been deeply personal and inspiring. Having lost both parents in a gas explosion at the age of eight, the actress and entrepreneur has often spoken about her struggles with grief and emotional recovery.
She also went through a public divorce from fitness coach Maje Ayida in 2017 after three years of marriage. Despite her challenges, Toke continues to inspire many with her resilience, grace, and openness about her life experiences.
