Kandi Burruss‘ daughter Riley Burruss is blossoming into a young lady and “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star couldn’t be prouder.

Fresh off her first TV interview on “Sister Circle Live” with her mother, Riley, who just completed a law school program at Stanford, is starting an internship at a local law firm.

“Yesterday was a big day was a big day for my baby girl! @rileyburruss had her first interview & then her first day of her internship at a law firm!” Burruss shared on Instagram Wednesday, July 18. “I was so excited for her. She didn’t want me to post pics of her outfit she wore to the internship for some reason but here are just a few more pics from the day. 💄: @taetv & 💇🏾‍♀️: @sewjodie.”

Burruss’ post, which featured a dolled-up Riley, comes weeks after she was bragging about her daughter’s weight transformation, which saw the 16-year-old shed 52 pounds by sticking to a workout regimen.

After taking some time off while completing the Standford Law School’s Envision Intensive Law & Trial program, Riley was right back to work in the gym this week.

“Ignore my sweat 😂 but I wanted to show y’all my before & after with @iamthekingoffitness. The first video is from November & the 2nd is from today!!” she wrote on Instagram Monday of her transformation. “Super proud of my weight loss & imma keep it going!🤪❤ fyi: I haven’t worked out in like 2 weeks because I was at Stanford so don’t judge my boxing😩.”

Fans have continued to praise the teen for being dedicated to her health and launching her law career.

“Gorgeous girl and I am so happy that she stayed encouraged through her fit journey @kandi. Can’t wait to see this future lawyer doing her thing on the Atlanta scene.”

“Beautiful and congratulations young lady⭐🎀.”

“Good for her! Lawyer bae in training 💁🏽‍♀️👩🏽‍💼⚖.”

“Hard work pays off. 👏🏾 Be extremely proud of your progress 👏🏾.”

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
