‘This Is It!’: Porsha Williams Debuts ‘Extra Short Cut’ Ahead of Book Cover Photo Shoot

Porsha Williams gave fans a quick update about her forthcoming first book while continuing to turn heads and step on necks with her even shorter ‘do.

The 39-year-old “Dish Nation” co-host took a little time to talk to her followers on Feb. 1 while she was getting glammed up at home. During the 14-minute conversation, Williams modeled her latest chop and let viewers know that she’s making progress on the release of her first book titled “The Pursuit of Porsha.”

Williams, who announced the release of her memoir in July 2020, revealed that she’s keeping the ball rolling by preparing to shoot the cover on the weekend of Feb. 6 and 7. “So my book! ‘Pursuit to Porsha!’ I’m shooting the cover this Saturday. I’m so so so excited!” she exclaimed in the post.

The Pampered By Porsha founder went on to discuss how she’s still deciding what to wear, but knows that she wants her look to be simple. “I don’t even know what I want to wear but I just want it to be like super, super simple,” she said. “It’s like so much going on that less is more these days; am I right? It’s just so much going on. You don’t need to have it going on in your hair, your face, your this. Simplicity! Whatever you can simplify in your life, SIMPLIFY THAT S**T!”

The reality star from “The Real Housewives of Atlanta” also showed off her fresh shorter pixie cut and made sure to give props to the stylist who hooked her up. “Fringe Hair Studios. She came all the way from Mississippi and she just chopped it up,” she said while swinging the camera around to give fans the full 360-degree view. “She just came and just did me dirty, y’all! She just cut the hell out this hair which I love it super short like this. Yes!”

“Jade was the first person who cut it, which is amazing, and then Monique from Fringe Hair Studios,” she continued. “She is the one who came and did this extra, extra short cut on me!”

Fans agreed that Porsha’s close cut suits her face and took to the comments to compliment her beauty.

“She can do no wrong, she’s absolutely gorgeous”

“I said you can rock any style… Look great on you sis 🔥💜💜💜💜

“she’s so freakin beautiful ‼️ black girl magic”

“Agree less is great because we can see the real beautiful queen that are women are naturally and not who they are trying to look like”

“This is it!! This look is so her 🤎”

Williams’ memoir is scheduled to head to shelves this September.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
