Kandi Burruss is the woman who does it all. She’s a Grammy Award-winning songwriter, Broadway star, and longest-running housewife on The Real Housewives of Atlanta and, as it happens, a seriously strategic businesswoman with many successful companies under her belt. These include Kandi Koated, an empowering collection of luxury cosmetics celebrating diversity and inclusivity across all identities and skin tones; Bedroom Kandi (readers, you can infer); TAGS boutique, which sells luxury women’s apparel; and Old Lady Gang, her Georgia-based southern eatery.
What’s more, the 44-year-old multitasker recently headlined a sold-out nationwide tour with her all-girl group, Xscape; fit in time to write songs for some of the biggest artists around (think: Pink, Mariah Carey, Usher and Alicia Keys, among others); founded Kandi Cares, which supports single parents and kids who are the product of single-parent homes, as well as Beautiful Bosses, a web platform where women can network and promote their businesses; and is now appearing in the third season of Lena Waithe‘s The Chi, which premieres June 21st on Showtime.
