NeNe Leakes Hits Right Chord with Inspirational Post After Being Slammed for Message Seemingly Aimed at Co-stars

NeNe Leakes is totally committed to self-improvement and fans are backing her up.

On Tuesday, August 28, “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star posted a photo of an inspirational message all about putting positive efforts in motion.

“I am committed to being a better person today than I was yesterday. Better thoughts… better decisions… better actions!” it read.

“#workinprogress #growth Never Make The Same Mistake Twice! Just get better, stronger and WISER with every situation,” Leakes added in the caption.

Leakes’ post was met with lots of admiration from commenters.

“That’s all that matters hun. You doing it for you!”

“I luv this. All we have to do is be willing to do the work. Amen ❤️🙏🏾.”

“Amen. There’s No Way You Can Move Forward Living In Thoughts Of Your Past. Amen. Blessed To Know It.”

“Amen, NeNe. Better everything. You wake up to see another day so ur given another chance to right some wrongs. Everyone awakens, but what will each person choose to do with the opportunity ??🙏🙏😘”

“I agree, boss lady…very lesson learned. Don’t pearl to swine.”

“Hi! I’m from Memphis Tennessee. I love this. I have nothing but RESPECT for you.”

This isn’t the first time Leakes has shared an inspirational message, although it hasn’t always gone over with such positivity.

In July, Leakes made a post about how people should be respectful of those who help them.

“Street code 101: never bite the hand that feeds you,” it said.

But several fans took it as a swipe at former RHOA castmate Shereé Whitfield and rumored-to-be-fired star Kenya Moore.

“@sunshinecarolga – probably Shereé.”

“@visionarylife She might be talking to Kenya, but Kenya not losing no sleep or dollars from not being on the show. Kenya was paid before RHOA. LOL.”

Leakes was later forced to make it clear she wasn’t referring to Moore.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

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 in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones 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.
