Lozada’s pride and joy in life are her two children, 26-year-old Shaniece Hairston, and 6-year-old Crawford, a son shared with her ex-fiancé, former MLB star Carl Crawford. The “BBW” star honored her children on Mother’s Day by posting a series of photos of herself and her beautiful children. The collage of pics garnered 140,000 likes and over 900 comments. She wrote, “God knew my heart needed the both of you 💙💖 So grateful God chose me to be your mommy.”

Many of her followers raved over Lozada’s family.

“I love your family 🙏🙏🙏🔥❤️,” one fan said.

“The hottest mom I know! Hands down.”

One fan went as far as to tell Lozada that she can pass as Hairston’s sister. “Evelyn you are gorgeous, you could pass as Shaniece’s sister.”

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.
