Review/Giveaway: The Pursuit of Porsha: How I Grew Into My Power and Purpose – Porsha Williams

I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Porsha Williams, entrepreneur and one of today’s most recognizable media personalities, opens up about family, faith, fame, and becoming an agent for change.

Porsha Williams is a remarkable voice in the television and podcast communities. In The Pursuit of Porsha, she takes readers on a deeply personal journey as she searches for happiness and self-acceptance, giving fans a first-hand look into the defining moments of her life that have not been captured on-screen or in the press.

Charged with candor, vulnerability, and the sharp wit Porsha is known and loved for, The Pursuit of Porsha brings readers back to the beginning and along her path of self-reflection and discovery. She details her upbringing as the granddaughter of civil rights activist Hosea Williams and her painful recollections of childhood bullying and gives readers a look at her search for love and her journey into the spotlight. Porsha shares every moment that has tried–and restored –her faith, over and over again.

Through it all, Porsha proves that she is more than a soundbite, headline, or rumor. She is an empowering role model to black women and an icon for women everywhere. In The Pursuit of Porsha, readers will see Porsha as they have never seen her before.

The Pursuit of Porsha invites readers into the life of Reality Star, Porsha Williams. I was first “introduced” to Porsha when she became a cast member of RHOA. I told my husband that I felt Porsha was holding back and not showing her true self. Let me add; I know that reality television doesn’t show every part of someone’s life, but you can feel when someone is not being their authentic self. Flash Forward to Porsha’s divorce – the viewers were able to get a glimpse of the saucy, carefree, and funny Portia. When I first learned of Porsha writing a book – I was eager to read it. The public has watched Porsha blossom from a timid housewife into an entrepreneur holding her own.

Porsha Williams details the pitfalls and mistakes she has made in the past, but some of them mirror her recent public experiences. So the readers are left to wonder if there is a lesson to take away from certain experiences. I will skip over the R. Kelly part of the book on purpose. Porsha has been mute about R. Kelly for years – so one is left to question was this added to the book to push sales.

Overall, The Pursuit of Porsha is an okay read. I’m still a fan of Porsha Williams because she makes very entertaining television.
