                              is a prolific individual.

​

As an unapologetic commentator on all things SidePiece, toniwo has spent years studying, researching, and—yes—participating in situationships that would make most people clutch their pearls. That lived experience gives her a sharp, hilarious, and unexpectedly insightful perspective on the double lives, double standards, and double-timing that shape modern relationships.

​

The brassy, sassy author of That’s What You Get For Running With Scissors and Discordia has never shied away from the messy truth. She writes about complicated entanglements with a fearless clarity, refusing to let cheating culprits hide behind excuses or perform as victims. Her unfiltered examinations have built a loyal, vocal community eager to share their own stories of love gained, love lost, and love that should’ve stayed in the group chat. Wherever she goes, she brings controversy, conversation, and comedic chaos.

​

toniwo understands the power of the written word—and she wields it with unmistakable personality. After being rejected by agents and publishers, she self-published her debut collection, achieving commercial success and landing features in national outlets such as Honey Magazine, Essence, Black & Single, InStyle, Houston Press, and Today’s Black Woman. She has also appeared on multiple television and radio programs, including The Tyra Banks Show.

 

The SidePiece Handbook has sparked an overwhelming response worldwide. With her distinctive humor, sharp judgments, and brutally honest commentary, toniwo has become one of the most sought-after voices in the global conversation on infidelity. Her satirical, fearless approach challenges the narrative—refusing to let SidePieces play the victim while exposing the real consequences of the choices no one else wants to discuss.
