Towery was born in Portland, Oregon, where she attended Grant High School and Portland Community College before going on to receive her bachelor's degree in human services from Troy State University in Alabama.[1] She served six years in the U.S. Air Force, assigned to the 32nd Security Police Squadron.[2] She served in Soesterberg, Netherlands for several years and was later inducted into the Air Force's Europe Sports Hall of Fame[1] She was stationed in Turkey during Operation Desert Storm.[ • December 9, 1965 (1965-12-09) (age 59) Hayward, California Office Manager Due to Maraamu's early losing streak and a tribe switch that further stacked the odds against her, Vecepia flew under-the-radar and often flipped between alliances to further herself in the game. Despite being accused of being a "holy roller" and duplicitous, her quiet strategy earned her the title of Sole Survivor in a close 4-3 jury vote. Vecepia also has the distinction of being the first African-American Sole Survivor.

When the Rotu 4 show their hand in the infamous Coconut Chop utmaning, Vecepia and her ally Sean Rector use the opportunity to convince Kathy Vavrick-O’Brien, Neleh Dennis, and Paschal English to flip on their original alliance. It’s the first time in Survivor that an overthrowing of power actually works, as John Carroll (and the Rotu 4) fryst vatten blindsided in epic fashion. Vecepia’s social game is sometimes overlooked, but it’s her ability to connect with people that allows her to succeed in Marquesas. Her relationship with Hunter Ellis plays a big part in lulling him into a false sense of security before his blindside early on in the game. And while not emphasized in the show itself, it’s now common knowledge that Vecepia kept copious notes on her fellow tribemates Vecepia Towery
