Reginae Carter attended her bestie Zonnique Pullins‘ baby shower and the pair reunited with their former OMG Girlz members under a new moniker, “Auntie Squad.”

The OMG Girlz formed in 2009 and disbanded in 2015. In addition to Carter and the mommy-to-be, group members Bahja Rodriguez, Lourdes Rodriguez and Breaunna Womack stopped by the gorgeous Enchanted Forest-themed soiree to show support for Zonnique as she prepares to welcome her baby girl into the world. The friends posed for a photo together looking all grown up and excited to celebrate their “niece’s” arrival.

Pullins has been slaying her pregnancy every step of the way, but admitted that she wasn’t planning on becoming a mother so soon. Now that it’s happening, however, she’s committed to being the best mom she can. “I always said, like you know, I don’t really want kids anytime soon, so it was kind of just like a thing that came on me,” Zonnique told Atlanta Black Star during an interview. “I prayed, I just felt like if this is the plan, if this is what God wants for me to do, I wanna do it, and I’m going to try my best at it.”

While she hasn’t been thrilled about having to deal with the speed bumps that pregnancy during COVID-19 life brings, overall she admits she’s “been feeling well. I have to go to my doctor alone. I can’t even take Izzy with me, and you know that’s definitely different for it being my first time,” she said. “I wish it could be different. But other than that, you know, I’ve been feeling well. I’ve never got morning sickness and things like that, so really that’s all I can pray for is a healthy pregnancy.”

Fans were thrilled to see the young beauties reunited to celebrate the joyous occasion.

The baby will be Zonnique and boyfriend Israel “Bandhunta Izzy” James’ first child together. Izzy is also father to two other children, making their bundle of joy his third.

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.
