“Yessss!!!! You are killing this look. 🔥 Yasss hunty! Short hair is so you..❤️”

Burruss is no stranger to having above-the-neck-length hair in her career after the 1990s. When the hitmaker first appeared on “Housewives” in 2009, she had a more tapered haircut. Burruss herself remarked on the style a couple of times, including in a throwback post with Sister 2 Sister magazine publisher/owner Jamie Foster Brown.

“#FBF about 11yrs ago somewhere with @jamiefosterbrown. I have no idea where we were but since I’m reminiscing about my short haircut I thought I’d post this. 💇🏾‍♀️,” Burruss said in August. At the time, she was considering chopping off her hair again.

As of late, Burruss, her husband Todd Tucker and their family welcomed a new addition to their family via surrogate, their daughter Blaze Tucker.

The “RHOA” star took to Instagram on Friday evening with a family photo and wrote, ” ❤️ We’re so in love!”

Still independent.

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.
