All About Nene Leakes

It took me a long time to jump on "The Real Housewives of Atlanta Show."  Finally, after the show had been on two seasons, and I had listened to people discuss the women I jumped on the bandwagon.  Now I can say I am a true diehard viewer.  Even though, I don't like women putting each other down, being negative and acting a fool, it's so addictive to watch a train wreck.  It's like you want to turn your head, but you cannot because you will miss something.  Even though, you believe something is not good for you, sometimes you partake just because you can.


One character and she is a popular one is  Nene Leakes.  I like her.  Let me tell you why.  She has taken sour lemons and made lemonade.  We hear that phrase all the time, but she put it into action so we could all see just how lemonade is made by demonstrating and handling her opportunities.

Nene Leakes is everywhere.  People blog about how much they hate her.  They blog to make money off her.  If they hate her, why talk about her? It's because no matter what folks say she is doing what many people would like to do.  She is finding job after job and working opportunities like a champion prize fighter.  What is there to hate about a successful working girl?  Gone Nene Leakes, keep spreading your talents around because clearly you have one that is noticeable and that my dear is making lemonade for your family and showing us all just how sweet it is to make it! Congratulations on all your success!

About the Book

Just when Sullivan, Lawson, Kina, Angel, and Reginell finally think they’ve gotten life figured out, fate steps in and throws them all a curve ball, adding fuel to the drama that seems to follow the ladies wherever they go.

Mt. Zion’s first lady, Sullivan Webb, has left her philandering ways behind her, but lingering questions surrounding her daughter’s paternity motivate Sullivan to seek out her own absentee father, Pastor Samuel Sullivan. What her search uncovers is years of lies, secrets, and betrayal that threaten to destroy the lives of almost everyone she loves.

Kina Battle’s newfound celebrity status as the winner of a popular weight-loss reality show goes to her head as quickly as she shed her unwanted pounds. Kina is prepared for the fame, endorsement deals, and celebrity appearances that come along with stardom. What she isn’t prepared for is the harsh backlash when her secrets are exposed and the public starts to question whether she is the devout Christian that she’s led everyone to believe she is.

Lawson Kerry Banks could get over her husband’s affair if the evidence wasn’t staring at her through the eyes of his love child. Lawson’s insecurities and inability to accept his child force Garrett to choose between the woman he loves and the child he’s fathered.

Life as the soon-to-be wife of high school football coach Mark Vinson lacks the excitement of Reginell Kerry’s former life. It certainly lacks the financial security that pulling down $1000 a week as an exotic dancer afforded her. When the bills start to pile up, Reginell goes back to doing what she knows best, only this time it may cost her more than she’s willing to pay.

Angel King’s broken heart finds a safe place to mend in the arms of high school classmate Jordan McKay. He respects her decision to abstain from sex until marriage, he loves the Lord, and he adores her. However, Jordan is harboring a dangerous secret that could destroy their relationship and leave Angel brokenhearted once again.

The ladies often fall victim to being led by their hearts instead of their heads. This time, they may have gone too far.

Stop Hating Others for their Success

In order to progress, we have to do better as a people. We need to focus on our strengths rather than our weaknesses, we need to up lift each other, rather than pull each other down with our negative commentaries. If we want respect, we must give it! Stop hurting each other with putdowns. Let's begin to uplift each other. It seems to me it is much easier to be positive than negative. We can do this! Nothing is better than at least trying to be positive and supportive of each other. I'm willing! You should be too!

Why Do Some African Americans Hate Themselves?

In politics there are politicians I don’t support or like because I know they speak with a folk lip whether they are black or white. I have voted both Democrat and Republican when I support issues. I have voted on candidates because of their record of what they do for the people as a whole, not for a certain group of folks. But I could not sit down and dog out or laugh about my race or any race with a group of people who hate folks because of skin colors. Sure I post stories up about any criminals, or politicians who do outrageous things no matter their race. I want all of us to be informed and careful about many issues that affect us all. On Facebook there are folks who are African Americans who post negative stuff to encourage people to hate. What the person doesn’t know is, these people are not laughing just with them, they are laughing at them too. All you’re doing is giving racist people a format and a voice to spread their hate. The reason I know this have to do with how they feel about themselves and their own race is they not only spit out hateful things about the President, (they don’t even address him as President) but they want Zimmerman free, they hated Rodney King, they diss all African American leaders and their whole platform is about dissing African Americans. Why do some African Americans hate themselves?
