Tonya's Bio:

Tonya Ruiz is a dynamic communicator and she speaks nationally about one of today's most important issues to women-True Beauty.

Tonya is the author of Beauty Quest, A Model's Journey. She is also a pastor's wife, mother, and grandmother who lives in Southern California.

Tonya's Speaking Topics:

• Beyond Barbie
Psalms 139:13-14 Can we compete with Barbie? She looks perfect, but her head is completely empty. Famous fashion designers, like Liz Clairborne and Donna Karan, label all their creations and Barbie has ‘Mattel” stamped on her back. The Master Designer created us and His label is imprinted on our souls—‘Fashioned by God, Designer Originals.’

• Beauty Quest 1 Samuel 16:7 For centuries women have been on a quest in search of beauty. God is most concerned with our hearts, but we must also take good care of the unique and wonderful bodies He has created for us. Let’s use the Bible as our beauty manual.

• Beauty Scents 2 Corinthians 2:15 What legacy would we leave if our spiritual scent lingered after we left the room? If we put Christ first in every area of our lives, His sweet and gentle fragrance will flow through us and draw others to Him.

Tonya Says:

I love to use humor. (A spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down.)


Gospel Presentation?

I present the gospel through my testimony. If asked I do an alter call.

Why Tonya Speaks:

I have a message that needs to be shared. God keeps opening the doors and allowing me to share it.

Tonya's Goal:

Our "Barbie Generation" needs to know the difference between looking beautiful and being beautiful. When I teach, I hope that women will learn to see themselves differently. That they will rejoice that they are fearfully and wonderfully made. That they will understand that their worth has nothing to do with their jean's size or complexion, but in the fact that they are a child of God. I want women to desire to be beautiful in their hearts and to balance that with taking good care of their bodies. I want women to realize that God wants us to be a beautiful fragrance.
