When SWV disbanded from 1998-05, Taj kept busy. She signed a modeling contract with Ford Modeling Agency, received her BA from Belmont University and married NFL star running back Eddie George. Taj and Eddie share son Eriq, and Taj is stepmom to Jaire. In 2009, Taj competed in the 18th season of “Survivor.” Despite the rigorous schedule of being a touring artist and a mom, Taj is currently pursuing a law degree.
