Understanding the power of her role as a model and actor, Tomiko uses the platform to passionately champion women’s empowerment through Tomiko Fraser’s Goddess Gathering, a monthly support group aimed at helping women discover, develop & demonstrate their most empowered selves by releasing their inner Goddess. When faced with infertility issues, Tomiko chose to share her story openly and honestly with the public. As a result, she receives numerous requests to speak and messages from women with similar stories who are inspired by her courage. Tomiko is proud to be an Ambassador for Resolve: The National Infertility Association. She works closely with the organization to help improve the lives of women and men living with infertility through appearances, public service announcements and meetings with elected officials. Tomiko is also writing a book about infertility in the African- American community. She will share her journey as well as those of many other black women dealing with infertility. She hopes this book will inspire, educate and eradicate the guilt and shame that so many black women dealing with infertility face. Born and raised in the Bronx, New York, she currently resides in Los Angeles, where she plays her most passionate role yet, mother to twins Kaden and Bryce and wife to her husband Chris.
