#blackhistorymonth - @neneleakes And The History of Real Housewives of Atlanta @GregLeakes provided his wife Nene Leakes with a SAG card. Nene then went to LA for pilot season landing a role on the Parkers and in the Movie The Fighting Temptations. On a plane ride home from LA, she met the founder of RHOA, @producerprincess Princes Banton-Lofters, who told her that she just got the green light to begin production of RHOA. She asked Nene if she wanted to be a part of the project, and if so, do she know any other women who’d like to be a part of the project? Nene agreed to do the show and recruited Sheree and Kim Zolciak to be a part of the reality show. 12 years later we’ve had a lawyer, songwriter, models and even a Miss USA winner, but none has created a resume quite like Nene Leakes since their appearance on the show. Partnered with her manager @stevengrossman Steven Grossman, Nene has authored a book, Never Make the Same Mistake Twice, appeared on prime time television in Glee, The New Normal, Fashion Police, Dancing With The Stars, The Apprentice, Master Chef Celebrity Showdown, Off The Rocker and To Tell The Truth. She co-hosted Anderson Cooper Live, The Talk and Good Morning America Stahan, Sarah and Keke. Nene starred on Broadway in Cinderella and Chicago and also starred in Cirque Du Soleil Zumanity. She’s created the Nene Leakes production company to Executive Produce “I Dream of Nene” and she’s sold out 2 Nene Leakes collections on HSN. Nene went on tour with her comedy show So Nasty, So Rude, created the Ladies Night Out comedy tour and the Ladies of Success woman building conference. Nene also have her Swagg Boutiques in Atlanta, Miami and DC. I salute the #blackexcellence Boss, The go getter and the Queen of RHOA, Nene Leakes. #neneleakes #gregleakes #stevengrossman #producerprincess #realhousewivesofatlanta #rhoa #swaggboutique (at Atlanta, Georgia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B8FIGgWHwui/?igshid=1c4mnxe9j572s
