Toya Johnson-Rushing and daughter Reginae Carter are back on TV. This time around though, the spotlight is on them.

“I did have Reginae at an extremely young age. We kind of grew up together. But one thing I will say is I’ve always kept it separate. I have never been her friend growing up. I’ve always been her mother,”…
