Porsha Williams Calls Ciara’s Message the ‘Prayer We’ve Been Waiting On’

“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” star Porsha Williams is all about a “prayer” singer Ciara posted about how to put her new song “Level Up” into action.

“Y’all this the prayer we been waiting on! Llol @ciara 👏🏾,” Williams wrote in a Tuesday, July 25 post when she shared Ciara’s memo, which she described as “So Many Ways To #LevelUp.”

Listed in the post are essentially ways to motivate yourself, practice self-love and achieve personal goals. They include meditation, being your own boss, being vulnerable, dropping dead weight, surrounding yourself with greatness and getting the love you deserve.

Fans swiftly ate up both the message and the support between Williams and Ciara.

“I loved that….thank you!!!💯👊🏽.”

“I TELL you this is what I’m on FORREAL, FORREAL!! Some people just won’t understand, smh!”

“Damn amen love you for this one!”

“LIFE GOALS💖💖💖 @ciara. AND @porsha4real BOSS LADIES👑👑👑.”

“@porsha4real I’m so happy u are supporting @ciara.”

Williams has been feeling good as of late. She recently celebrated her new man Dennis McKinley’s birthday, giving him a welcome shout out while putting his face on display for the first time. She still, however, did not refer to him by name, preferring to stick to using his initials, DM.

The celebration may have put the star in a reflective mood, as she just celebrated her own birthday on June 22.

Williams’ newest Instagram message, which she posted Thursday, July 26, had a similar tone to the “Level Up” one.

“Your entire life can really change in a year… you just gotta love yourself enough to know you deserve more, be brave enough to demand more and be disciplined enough to actually work for more,” it reads.

And since things are finally coming together in Williams’ love life, it’s no surprise that she co-signed what she saw by captioning the post, “Man…Big Facts.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
