‘All My Favs In One Pic’: Jennifer Williams, Yandy Smith-Harris, and Porsha Williams Come Together to Celebrate Yandy’s Birthday

Jennifer Williams celebrated Yandy Smith-Harris‘s 39th birthday on March 20 by posting an upload of herself with Smith-Harris and Porsha Williams commemorating the “Love & Hip Hop” star’s special day. The ladies were all smiles as they posed for the snapshot. 

The “Basketball Wives” star captioned the photo, “Life is good! All smiles with @porsha4real @yandysmithcelebrating our sis Yandy’s birthday… ❤️.” A day before the celebration, Smith-Harris, whose birthday was on March 19, informed her followers that she brought herself a Yelle –a plant-based skincare line created by the reality star –store while also telling them to follow the line’s official Instagram page as a birthday gift to her.

She wrote, “For my birthday I gifted myself a Yelle Store!! It’s happening. All I want from you for my birthday is a follow of my @yelleskincare page. Men and teens I have something so special ready for you!!! The support has literally bought me to my knees in thanks, tears in joy and completely changed my life and the people I’ve been able to support and help. All I can do is say THANK YOU. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH. HAPPY BIRTHDAY YANDY CANDY GIRL. YOU DID THAT🥳💕💕💕 (you know sometimes you gotta tell yourself you bad bad!)”

Fans expressed how overjoyed they were to see the reality stars come together for one night. 

“All my favs in one pic, it don’t get no better than this 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.”

“Good group of women to be with, positive women… Happy Birthday Yandy🥳.”

“These queens🔥🔥🔥❤️.”

“🔥🔥🔥I LOVE this pic and the ladies in it!”

“The FLYEST and STRONGEST women on Television!!! When Real Queens link up!!!🔥🔥🔥”

While fans were elated to see the women unite, many may not know how this budding friendship came about. Although it is unclear how Smith-Harris and Jennifer initially know each other and for how long, the duo attended a VH1 sisterhood event in Jamaica in 2018 for the Support Your Girlfriends event created by Tené Nícole.

Smith-Harris and the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” star have shown up at demonstrations with people fighting for justice for Breonna Taylor, a 26-year-old African-American woman who was shot and killed in her Louisville, Kentucky, home during a drug raid last year. Smith-Harris, Porsha, and the “RHOA” star’s family attended the one-year rally on the anniversary of Taylor’s death on March 13. 

Porsha captioned the photo, “We will never stop saying her name #BreonnaTaylor !! I brought my daughter & Mom along to represent #NoJusticeNoPeace We demand a better future for the next generations ✊🏾 With my soul sista @yandysmith@pilarjhena @msdianeofficial #DBlock.”

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.
