Dr. La Toya Luces-Sampson, affectionately known as Dr. Toya on social media, is a multi- faceted individual—a wife, mother, board-certified Obstetrician and Gynecologist, entrepreneur, speaker, and best-selling author. Born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago, she journeyed to the United States where she earned both her Bachelors and Medical Degrees from Howard University in an accelerated 6-year BS/MD program. Her medical training was further honed at Pennsylvania Hospital in Philadelphia.
Her medical prowess is only one side of the coin. Dr. Toya is a thriving entrepreneur, being the brainchild behind “Buy Default,” a curated directory aimed at promoting Black businesses and professionals. She’s also the founder and CEO of Amina OBGYN Consultants, an independent contracting company providing hospital-based OBGYN services. Dr. Toya has broadened her medical practice by embracing telehealth, now offering her expertise to the women of California and Texas.

Entrepreneurship became Dr. Toya’s beacon out of professional burnout, igniting a passion for patient education. She leverages her social media platforms to embolden women, providing invaluable insights to help them take charge of their reproductive health and advocate for themselves. Her endeavors echo a central message of empowerment and education, making a meaningful impact on her followers and patients alike.
