Kandi Burruss, Rasheeda Frost, and Toya Johnson are putting on their bossiest faces and challenging other women to support one another.

The entrepreneurs and reality TV stars got together to remind fans they’ve still got it as women, bosses, and friends. In the image shared to Kandi’s Instagram page and reposted by Rasheeda and Toya, the ladies rock sexy all-black outfits and serious faces that scream “Don’t let these looks fool you. We’re all about our coins.”

“Beautiful, Bossy, Determined, Resilient, Confidant, Supportive, Nurturing, Bold, Creative, etc… We’re a whole movement! @toyajohnson @rasheeda ❤️❤️,” Kandi captioned the image. She went on to encourage her fans to tag their own “beautiful boss” friends in their lives and “support other people the same or more than you want people to support you!”

The “Bedrock Remix” trio are longtime friends and have demonstrated not only what strong female friendships look like, but also what it means to have your whole crew come up together.

Grammy-winning songwriter/singer and “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Kandi has a slew of businesses, including clothing boutique TAGS, Old Lady Gang restaurant, and Bedroom Kandi for those fun nights in.

Rapper Rasheeda owns her own clothing boutique as well, Pressed, makeup line Poiz Cosmetics, and Frost Bistro & Bar, which she co-owns with her husband Kirk Frost.

“T.I. & Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle” cast member Toya owns boutiques G.A.R.B. and G.A.R.B. Shoetique, and Before Bed Headz, a luxury bonnets and bedtime accessories line.

Fans loved this triple dose of girl power and let the ladies know how fierce they looked in the image that received over 196,000 likes.

We’ll have to wait and see whether these beauties are working on a new project together or just felt like getting together to look good and revel in their success. Either way, fans are here for it!

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.
