On Tuesday, May 17, reality star Kandi Burruss of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” shared a video of her trip to Las Vegas to celebrate her birthday, with fans in turn noting how good she looked. Burruss, who also is an entrepreneur, turned 46.

For her trip, she was accompanied by friends Lena Danielle, Ami and Shamea Morton. Morton frequently appeared on the reality show as a friend. Show followers were curious as to why Burruss’ other co-stars were not on the celebratory trip. These include Kenya Moore and Marlo Hampton.

Many notable names wished Burruss a happy birthday, including entrepreneur and newlywed Monyetta Carter, who wrote, “Happy Happy Birthday boo!!” Carter has two children with singer Ne-Yo, to whom she previously was engaged.

“Love & Hip-Hop” star Yandy Smith-Harris replied, “Ohhhhhhhweeeeeee y’all cute cute.”

Morton had this to say: “Too much fun.” Burruss’ friend Ami also left a comment. “Ayyy…turn down for what?! Happy Birthday.”

“Kandi don’t age. Looking so cute,” added another. “Kandi lookin Goodt!!!!”

“C’mon now Kandi. You KNOW you are killin that suit!”

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.
