‘You Was Giving the Boat Driver a Lil Show’: Porsha Williams Lives Her Best Life During Turks and Caicos Vacation

“The Real Housewives of Atlanta” reality star Porsha Williams is starting her new year off with a dose of fun and freedom.

Although she wasn’t focused on driving the boat like Megan Thee Stallion taught us, Williams, 39, clearly was having a ball as she danced all by herself during a boat ride while vacationing in Turks and Caicos.

In a Jan. 4 Instagram video, Williams showed herself letting her inner joy pour out as she held a glass of bubbly while showing off her moves and recently chopped ‘do in a bright-colored swimsuit with a multicolored cover-up. “2021 Free to be Me🛥🌊 #ThePursuitOfPorsha #PorshaWilliams,” she captioned her video, referencing her upcoming first book release in her hashtag.

“The Pursuit of Porsha” is set to be published in September 2021, and will be a memoir of Williams’ life, including momentous and memorable life events throughout her life thus far. “Putting yourself out there in these times can be both a blessing and curse,” Williams said of her book in a statement, according to People. “I want to share the real me and my story here, including both my trials as well as my many blessings.”

Aiming to show her depth beyond what’s seen on her social media pages and in front of cameras, Williams admitted she’s excited to share her “journey of passion, faith, and discovery.”

Fans loved seeing the carefree “RHOA” star appearing to be reinvigorated and full of life at the top of a new year.

“Porsha would be such a lit friend to have 😍🔥,” gushed a follower.

“I loveeeeeeeeeee youuuuu and your free-ness too boo!!!” a second exclaimed. “You give me so much life!!! We gone turn up together one day I’m sure lol.”

“One thang bout @porsha4real she gon be happy and live her life PERIODT🤷🏽‍♀️ I love to see it too❤️💯,” a third remarked.

“Be free queen!!!” wrote a fourth fan, encouragingly.

“You was giving the boat driver a lil show,” peeped a fifth. “He looked so happy lol”

As the drama continues to unfold on the latest season of “RHOA,” it looks like Porsha is remaining focused on her own happiness and living in the present for the time being.

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.
