Phaedra Parks and her son Dylan Nida are practically carbon copies of each other, according to fans.

The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star posted an adorable photo of the 6-year-old wearing a mask as a safety precaution from the current virus. He was also dressed in a black “Mic Drop” shirt and patterned pants. Parks’ son posed like a ninja, and she wrote in her caption, “#Mask #on #stayhealthy #stayhome  đŸ˜ˇ  #Mr#President”

Her post garnered over 13,000 likes and several compliments.

She poked fun at the struggle she was having with homeschooling her kids during the crisis. The television personality wrote, “Day one of being #home #school #mom #principal. I #LOVE my sons but teaching children is NOT my ministry. May God grant all the moms, dads and caretakers patience and grace during this quarantine. God send a village to sustain us during this difficult time 🙏🏾 we will survive #Coronavirus”

Parks currently co-parents her two sons with ex-husband Apollo Nida, whom she divorced in 2017. The children spent tine with their father not long after this past Christmas. Nida enjoyed spending family time with his kids, and he wrote via Instagram on Jan. 12, “I love these two amazingly smart young men. Life is only going to get better for US. … Thanks for remaining strong while daddy was away.”

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.
