    “I have so much to be thankful for, and I take nothing for granted. This includes life itself.” -Cynthia Bailey.. watch “Kenya Moore: Her Painful Past Before Becoming a Real Housewife” NEXT kzread.info/dash/bejne/g2V5msatgZWeoLA.html

    I will watch this, but I just finished the one on Pearle Bailey and I'm currently watching the one on Shelia Guyse, which inspired me to suggest if you could look into Sarah Vaughan and/or Dinah Washington? Sarah Vaughan was an iconic singer of her time. I am just writing it here to try to catch your eye since you just loaded this video 😂. Thanks!

    Now that’s real talk. Legacy and getting your bills paid are two different things. She made her modeling money years ago--things change-models age out and get less gigs. People always pick out people that they remember from childhood and expect them to still be living off of 80s and 90s money, and then has the nerve to be shocked when their star dies in poverty because that person was ashamed of taking a regular job. This mode of thinking is about keeping people in a box type of fantasy. It is not reality. Good for Cynthia in making a new bag and creating generational wealth.

    Housewives did cheapen her because she’s soooo accomplished. But, she used the platform to come up and I’m proud of her for that. I love Cynthia and hope that she continues to rise.

    See I think housewives helped her in some aspects . And she didn’t really do anything that she has to be embarrassed of she always remained a lady and classy she was never really acting ratchet on tv. And housewives had such a big platform and the checks were nice so I don’t blame her for doing it . Especially when she first joined her and Peter were having money troubles so she had to do something but I think housewives is a better show than most reality shows .
