In her much publicized book Becoming, Toke gave insight on how she lost her parents in a tragic fire accident.

According to her:“My dad had come out of the building smelling of burning rubber, putting out the fire on his shorts as he tried to explain what happened to a crowd that seemed to be getting bigger every minute. There was something I could taste in my mouth; it was fear. Fear gripped me and I could barely move. In movies, you sometimes see a scene with someone burning from head to toe. Everyone ran back trying to figure out who it was. It took a moment to realize it was my mum. I stood glued to the spot watching her burn.”
