AB+DM, founded by Ahmad Barber and Donte Maurice in 2018, is an African-American fashion photography duo that has gained widespread acclaim since its creation. Their work has been featured in publications like GQ, Billboard, and InStyle; with each photograph using dynamic portraiture or dynamic movement to convey an emotive yet relatable narrative. Recently, AB+DM joined Black Fashion Fair - a luxury boutique and culture platform founded by Antoine Gregory this year - on their inaugural print publication of Volume 0: Seen. As creative directors on this project, the duo photographed multiple editorials as well as two of three print covers - Maria Borges wearing Sergio Hudson clothing by Sergio Hudson as well as Aleya Ali in Pyer Moss couture collections - respectively. Sidora and Ralph Pittman had long been supportive of her musical dreams and encouraged one another to pursue them on RHOA, sharing an appreciation for music together as the couple shared musical moments on RHOA together. Unfortunately, their eight year marriage finally came to an end this season when Ralph filed for divorce against Sidora. RHOA will feature several new peach holders this season, such as Sheree Whitfield, Kenya Moore, Marlo Hampton, Monyetta Shaw and Sanya Richards-Ross. It kicks off February 27 at 8 pm ET on Bravo. Kandi Burruss will return, joining her fellow newbies. Sheree has hinted at an array of drama in Season 8, such as her Mama Joyce disliking Kandi's new lover due to him being short - though Sheree finds this claim ridiculous. Additionally, Sheree hinted that The 'Wives will revisit their infamous Pirates of the Caribbean trip from Season 1. Written by Candiace Dillard & Drew Sidora Candiace Dillard from Real Housewives of Potomac recently showcased her budding music career by debuting her single, "Affirmation, Pt. II", live in front of an audience on social media. Dillard collaborated on this track with songwriter and producer Drew Sidora of Real Housewives of Atlanta Season 2 Reunion fame.

Following the show Ralph takes Drew rock climbing where they both seem supportive as she falls several times and breaks one nail. As the ladies regroup after the concert, Sheree informs Kenya that she's sick but insists on coming to Drew's next performance anyway. Kenya was dismayed that her segment only lasted short time - she can't wait to see what awaits her! Marlo confronts Drew over her description of the incident at Kandi Burruss' restaurant where her cousin and kitchen manager were shot by one of Kandi's employees.

Listen to 'Affirmations P' Positivity through affirmations can help foster an optimistic mindset. From becoming more self-assured and having healthier relationships to feeling hopeful for the future, positive affirmations is an effective tool for manifesting what you desire most. Making them part of your morning ritual or listening to them while on-the-go can provide added positivity and productivity boosts. When using affirmations, it's essential that they reflect your personal needs and are tailored specifically to you. Visual cues like colors are great ways of reinforcing what your message is to the brain; having a goal in mind will only enhance their effectiveness further. No matter your individual needs, there are numerous affirmation resources online that you can utilize to find those best suited to you. Furthermore, pairing affirmations with powerful techniques such as meditation or visualization is extremely helpful; for instance if your aim is to become more comfortable speaking publicly then repeating an affirmation while visualizing yourself giving a speech could help build the confidence necessary to do just that! Affirmations is one of the best things about affirmations tools: they're easy and free for anyone to access and use. However, to maximize effectiveness it's essential that positive affirmations is repeated with sincerity; otherwise it won't penetrate your subconscious mind effectively. Unstable thought patterns are hard to break free from, particularly if they have been present for an extended period. If your subconscious thinks you are not capable of performing in public speaking situations, nerves could take over and hamper performance. Affirmations can help shift your mindset in a positive direction so that you become more open-minded and willing to try new experiences. Affirmations can be simple to implement, yet require practice for maximum impact. A good way to ensure success with affirmations practice is setting aside specific times and places for it, such as before sleeping. Repeat them several times so they become part of your nervous system and transform your life.
