‘Neon Dream’: Fans Say Tanya Sam Looks Great In This Bright Hue

Tanya Sam brought some sunshine to the internet on Friday, April 10. Sam, a reality star from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta,” posted a Boomerang video to Instagram that showcased her flaunting her Good Friday ensemble. She wore a long neon lime green pleated skirt with a lime green sleeveless top to match. Sam’s bright-colored clothing had people convinced that she should wear neon colors more often.

Sam swayed her skirt from side to side in the short clip. The former nurse smiled wide for the video, and her cheerful appearance matched her positive attitude.

Sam, a native of Toronto, wrote a heartfelt message in her caption to encourage others to be gracious to one another during these uncertain times. “Be kind. Give love. Check in on your friends, family, co-workers,” she said. Sam’s uplifting spirit caused fans to compliment her for her joyful mood in addition to her cheerful outfit.

“Love that dress and the color! Takes me back to Summer 😩,” one user wrote.

“Love your energy Tanya💕 It’s the true Canadian girl in you🙌🏾💯 #staypositive #staysafe,” a second fan admitted.

Many people have loved Sam’s energy since she joined “RHOA” as a friend of the show two seasons ago. She was originally introduced as a friend of Nene Leakes, but has since formed friendships with the majority of her castmates.

Sam has not been asked to become a full-time cast member yet, and she apparently has no interest in gaining her peach anytime soon. “I kind of love being the friend to the show. It’s really the best of both worlds,” she explained to a fan on Instagram.

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.
