“Real Housewives of Atlanta” television personality Porsha Williams enjoys the mommy life and documents some hilarious and loving moments of her 1-year-old daughter Pilar Jhena’ McKinley with her fiancé, businessman Dennis McKinley. 

Over the weekend, Williams recorded her daughter Pilar Jhena’ getting an early start on texting on the phone.

The adorable little girl seemed focused as she scrolled up and down on the phone while typing. 

“Y’all I can’t @PilarJhena😂 She’s texting @ 16Months! It’s the whittle thumbs moving for me🤣,” Williams captioned the video of PJ.

On May 10, Williams, 39, decided to join the pushup challenge with her mother, Diane Williams, and her maternal grandmother, Iona Sims. 

Sims did 50 pushups on her 83rd birthday, and Diane and Porsha tried to follow suit. 

“Ok, soooooo My grandma Iona made 50 pushups at age *83 look so easy on my previous post, so we tried it! 😂🤦🏾‍♀️ Baby, my mom @msdianeofficial *62 and I *38 been eating our best life and FAILED this challenge, but @pilarjhena loved every moment 😂 ,” Williams captioned the gallery of videos. 

“#GrannyIonaPushUpChallenge 🙅🏽‍♀️🤯🥴 Lawd ima do a Lil workout next week… My 83-year-old grandma is inspiration enough for me! *Check previous post Birthday Fun with Grandma Iona 🥳 #Blessed #4generations,” she added.

As Williams adjusted herself to complete the challenge, PJ tried to participate by crawling under her whenever she went down for a pushup. 

“Move, let mommy be great,” Williams told the 1-year-old toddler. 

“Owwww, my breast implants,” Williams said. “I feel like they are splitting apart,” she jokingly added.

Diane could be heard in the background warning Williams, “Your boob is coming out.” 

PJ then crawled under her mother yet again, and the Bravo reality star had a nipple slip. 

“Ohhhhhh, PJ,” Williams said in an abashed voice, which sent laughter around the room among the women. 

Fans were hysterical over the encounter in the comments section, especially about PJ not wanting her mother to complete the challenge. 

Take a look at Williams’ hilarious post. 

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.
