There’s no place like home. 

Almost a month after giving birth, Fantasia Barrino and her husband, Kendall Taylor, are celebrating being able to take their newborn home from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. She shared an Instagram photo of her daughter’s outfit on Tuesday, June 22, writing, “𝑊𝑒𝑙𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒 𝐻𝑜𝑚𝑒 🧸 @keziahlondontaylor🎀,” under it.

Taylor’s welcome-home post featured a photo of their yard with pink and blue designs. The decorations contained the words “Welcome Home Baby Keziah.” Taylor’s caption reads, “Welcome Home Baby Girl @keziahlondontaylor.” Barrino posted the same photo of the decorations to her Instagram story, and in the now-deleted post she tagged “@yardypartydesigns” and said, “Thank You So Much for making me Cry Lol!!! My Baby Deserved it because kicked the NICU BUTT 👏🏽.”

Since announcing her conception, Barrino has been taking her fans on her pregnancy journey and keeping them updated on the well-being of her new daughter. On May 30, seven days after giving birth to their daughter, Barrino revealed that she and her husband were in the NICU. In another post, the “Lose to Win” singer shared that her daughter was “born a little too early but she is a fighter just like her Mother.” 

Before that she went on “The Tamron Hall Show” where she and her husband spoke about their battle with infertility. She shared that it took about three years before they were able to conceive baby Keziah. However, now that she’s made her arrival and is safe at home, the couple is overjoyed, and so are their fans. 

“Praise GOD…Welcome home sweetie❤️❤️❤️,” said one person. Another wrote, “But God she’s a fighter like her momma so happy for u and ur husband 💓💗.”

Someone else wrote, “Enjoy and make sure you ALL GET PLENTY OF REST!! Welcome home Keziah❤️👏👏❤️❤️.”

Barrino has two other children, a daughter and a son, from previous relationships and Taylor has an adult son from a former relationship.

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.
