‘That Black Girl Magic Don’t Fade!’: Porsha Williams’ Group Snap Gets Overshadowed By Mama’s Gorgeous Looks

Porsha Williams’ attempt to thank her fans for supporting one of her many businesses failed after folks were more focused on the successful entrepreneur’s strikingly beautiful mother.

On Thursday, Nov. 19, The “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star took to her Instagram page to express how grateful she was for her supporters and thanked them for making the launch of her newest podcast, “Porsha4Real,” a success. “Thank you for joining us on this journey of laughter, tears, ☕️ tea, and a little self deprecation here n there bc ya know I love that 😂 love you !” 

Porsha attached a group photo that included herself, her mother Diane T. Williams, and her sister Lauren Williams alongside her thoughtful words. The three Williams women looked dashing as they coordinated in white outfits. This photo received over 47,500 likes and made for much discussion from fans who couldn’t stop gushing over mama Williams.

One user commented, “I thought that was one your friends til I saw the tag.” They added, “Omg ya mama looks goodt!!!” Another person wrote, “Y’all mama looking like y’all sister ❤️ y’all are so beautiful 👑.”

While a third user said, “It’s Mama Williams for me! 😜😍💯,” that comment wasn’t done, continuing, “Mama fine fine ….. ✌🏾💋beautiful ladies.”

“I wanna be Ms. Diane when I grow up! Wow! That Black Girl Magic don’t fade!!” a fourth person wrote.

The post came on the heels of another post in which the reality star told her fans to “prioritize your health.” On Nov. 17, the mother of one shared a post on Instagram revealing that she had been in the hospital, which made her fans concerned that she may have contracted COVID-19. Production on the newest season of “RHOA” paused after one of the crew members, who had been in close contact with some of the cast members, contracted the deadly illness. Although the reality star didn’t disclose the reason behind her hospital stay, she did leave a lengthy note thanking everyone for their well-wishes. 

“Thank you everyone for your well wishes. It’s good to finally be home from the hospital. I Love, love my flowers from @workwincelebrate & ladies of #Bravochatroom @gizellebryant @beingbernz @kate_chastain Thank you! I’ll see you all next week God willing,” the caption of the photo began. “Biggest message I got from this week is to prioritize your health! You can’t just go and go. If you don’t God will sit you right in down and make you figure it out. Road to recovery….”

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.
