How do you not love NeNe Leakes? To quote the cover of Ebony Magazine’s Money & Power issue, she is getting her “Hollywood Hustle“ on. NeNe is working the heck outta her 15 minutes of fame–I love it. She’s now an officially Hollywood actress with her recurring role on “Glee” and “The New Normal” and has been working the publication scene with features in Vogue, US Weekly, and now Ebony Magazine.
How’s that for rich? Other reality stars might want to take note.
Ebony Magazine names NeNe as one of the 100 most influential African-Americans of the year. NeNe is beyond determined as she is one of the rare reality stars to convert realitism into a successful career. #TeamBeautiful sends a huge congrats to NeNe on her success!
