Porsha Williams is certainly a “boss mom.” The Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member is a mom to daughter, Pilar Jhena “PJ” McKinley, and an author, actress, and entrepreneur. And she could be adding “real estate entrepreneur” to her growing resume.
Porsha took to Instagram on Nov. 3, where she posted a photo of herself, standing inside a home, smiling for the camera alongside Atlanta-based real estate agent, Keisha Carter. In the photo, both Porsha and Keisha can be seen looking
She then took to the caption of the post, where she admitted that she and Keisha were celebrating a recent success. But, it’s unclear if they were celebrating Porsha’s accomplishment or Keisha’s. “One closing down, more to come. God is So good! Thank you to my amazing realtor [Keisha Carter],” she wrote in the caption of the post, along with the words “real estate lifestyle” and “boss mom.”
She also took to her Instagram Story, where she reposted the very sweet photo, along with a Gif of someone clutching their hands together. The next day, she took to her Instagram Story where she re-posted a quote, making a bold statement about how she wants PJ to view her in her life and career.
“I want my daughter to look back and say: ‘My mom did everything stacked against her [and] still came out on top. She’s unstoppable, so I can be too,'” the quote read.
In addition to dabbling in real estate, Porsha has also been devoted to her work with the March of Dimes, a non-profit organization focusing on maternal and infant health. Porsha appeared on a panel titled “The Collective” in NYC on Oct. 17, where she, along with the other women, talked about how “personal experience can drive systemic change.” Porsha took to Instagram on Oct. 31, where she shared a look inside of her time speaking on the panel.
“Sharing stories is how advocacy advances!” she wrote in the caption of one Instagram post. “So glad that I could be a part of ‘The Collective’ with my powerful [March of Dimes] panelists in NYC! We shared the stage but also connected on our motherhood journeys and beyond! Thank you for having me.”
She also took to Instagram that same day, where she posted a photo of herself posing in front of a step-and-repeat at the event. “So honored that I could be a part of ‘The Collective’ by March of Dimes in NYC with an amazing group of panelists,” she wrote in the caption of the post.
“By using our voices, we’re all helping [March of Dimes] spread awareness on improving maternal and infant health in the US and beyond!” she concluded.

But these are not the only things that are happening to Porsha in her career and beyond. In a Sept. 23 interview with
“I do have something with fashion coming,” she said. “It may be here by the end of the year, but definitely by next summer.”

Quick on the heels of famously sassy, phrase-turning R&B singer and reality TV star Tamar Braxton’s announcement her recently released album, “Bluebird of Happiness,” will be her last — at least for a while — and news that her husband, music executive husband Vincent Herbert, founder of Streamline Records, was legally ordered to pay Sony more than $3.7 million to settle a lawsuit over a 2013 advance, the couple hoisted their grandly proportioned and glamorously appointed Mediterranean mansion in Calabasas, Calif., up for sale at $15 million.
The Herbert-Braxtons, married in late 2007 after about five years together, purchased the 13,716-square-foot mansion inside the double-gated Estates at The Oaks enclave in April 2013 for $10.5 million and public records show since then there have been several notices of default filed and subsequently canceled against the two-acre spread that provides a total of seven bedrooms and nine full and two half bathrooms between the main house and poolside guesthouse.
Wrought iron and glass front doors open to an entry vestibule and foyer with black and white floral-patterned inlaid floor and a floating, wrought iron railed staircase that curves up to the bedrooms on the second floor. The main living and entertaining space makes a great sweep across the rear of the residence with gleaming wide-plank hardwood floors laid in a classy chevron pattern.
A central gallery with glossy grand piano is flanked to one side by a lounge with semi-circular sofa in front of an ornate fireplace and to the other by a “champagne bar” modeled after The Dorchester Hotel in London with tufted velvet sofas and a stately wood-paneled ceiling.
Arched French doors open the vast space to an immense, stone-paved loggia with retractable canvas shade awnings and a bowling alley-length dining table that easily seats at least two-dozen al fresco diners. With elaborately carved cabinetry, granite countertops and a super-sized commercial-style range under a hand-hammered copper hood, the kitchen is open to a spacious informal dining area that, in turn, opens to a family room with fireplace and French doors to the backyard.
The three-story mansion’s creature comfort also include a home theater, a game room, an office, a wine cellar with tasting room and, unsurprisingly, a recording studio along with an elevator, an camera-equipped security system, a gentlemen’s lounge with authentic barber chair, a mirror-walled gym and a subterranean parking garage that will accommodate over a dozen cars. The mansion makes a U-shaped embrace around a broad and grassy courtyard with swimming pool and spa beyond which a soccer pitch-sized lawn gives way to a panoramic view over rugged ravines and undeveloped mountaintops.
Some of the other, equally sized and similarly luxurious estates in The Estates sections of The Oaks are owned by reality television’s Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian, Michael Jackson’s mother Katherine Jackson, Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and Jay McGraw, elder son of extraordinarily well-compensated TV therapist Dr. Phil McGraw, and his Playboy model wife Erica Dahm.
