"There was a night where I had a really bad evening and Bonang said to 'Toke we need to begin to take stock.  It is very easy to be caught in the business of life and forget to be thankful and appreciative. Nobody has it perfect but life is one big coping mechanism'," she recalled.

Toke has been through a lot of storms, but instead of crumbling up and dying, she benefitted from her pain. Her book “On Becoming,” which contained details of her experiences, was a global bestseller and had her smiling to the bank.

Toke described Bonang as an amazing person. 

She explained that they met on social media. "I stumbled on her page one day and thought 'this is me, this person is living my life - very vocal, she loves fashion, she likes to take pictures... and then we started talking and it's amazing how we just connect on every level... It's just really rare, we push each other as well." 

She said it's all love between them and that they also like to have fun. 

Toke added: "We try. Friendship is one of those things you keep working at. We're very open with each other so I guess that's one of those things that's kept us still friends. But she's an amazing person."
