Porsha Williams got pretty for UPSCALE magazine’s April 2015 issue,. She took to her Instagram account saying, "Avail Now my New Cover & 8 page Layout for @UpScaleMagazine Thank you for making me the April 2015 #CoverGirl! #Blessed #DishNation #Rhoa"
In the cover story, the granddaughter of activist Hosea Williams talked about overcoming being bullied in grade school over the way she looked She said,
“My outside beauty wasn’t always so pretty, though. I went to school in DeKalb County and I was bullied all through elementary and junior high for being super skinny with big teeth, and, believe it or not, other black girls would tease me and pull my hair because it was long.”Now, the reality star feels comfortable in her skin and has accepted who she is, flaws and all. She said although it may appear that she is ditzy on camera, there is more to her than what people see on television. She spilled,
Dress: CUSHNIE et OCHS; Jewelry: Tassels
“It’s funny, but not, that I can feel so confident in my own skin, even with my flaws. But my looks have warranted a general consensus that I’m ditzy or an airhead, thanks to the show. It’s meant for entertainment, so I get it. But off camera, being the doors of my office, it’s a different story.”So who is Porsha? When asked who does she see when she looks in the mirror, she said,
“When I look in the mirror, I see a survivor. I’ve been in abusive relationships, been shamed because of my looks and been damned because of my confidence. I see a woman who owns who she is. I’m proud of myself, who I am and who I represent. I can be put to the test, and I always emerge more resilient each time. I speak a lot of positivity daily, because I do believe in the power of the tongue. So, even if I do see a blemish or a pudge, I’m ok with it. Really.”
