Will Porsha & Dennis move forward? RHOA

Media blogs have been going viral with headlines “Dennis & Porsha Break Up”, “Porsha Heartbroken After Dennis Admits to Cheating.” What does all this mean for the future of Porsha and PJ? Before you get all bent out of shape and start feeling sorry for Porsha remember these episodes we are watching were filmed at least 4-6 months ago. That’s enough time for some major reconciling to begin.

Screen Shot 2019-11-12 at 8.20.30 AMA little birdie close to the blog told us they ran into Dennis McKinley this summer at the Bronner Bros Hair show and Dennis said the following “you know I had to go and get my family back.” Sounds like Dennis is no fool and realizes that he could really have a family and future with Porsha Williams. Since the first season of RHOA Porsha has expressed she wanted a baby and a family. She may have not gotten it right the first or second time looking for Mr Right after her divorce but seems like the third time might be a charm even though there seems to have been some bumps in the road.

We have seen Porsha really mature and seems like she wants to have her priorities in order and keep PJ closely connected to her father despite the future for her and Dennis. I think this couple will make it through the rough patches. With Dennis being on national television and knowing “the world” is watching him, I believe Dennis will do the right thing for a while at least. After all, Dennis isn’t getting any younger, and he is going to need a real partner in his corner to help him build the empire he’s accumulating with all his businesses.

Screen Shot 2019-11-12 at 8.28.02 AMPorsha already has fame and her own cash and lil PJ. She’s got an entire network and cast mates to keep her time occupied (and a check coming in). Having a husband would be a bonus and help Porsha live the American Dream but the reality of the situation is sometimes men don’t really know how to appreciate what’s right in front of them because money & power usually leads to distractions for MEN.

Screen Shot 2019-11-12 at 8.25.44 AMEither way we know Porsha is going to be just fine. She’s got her Momma and her Sister right by her side to lend a shoulder for her to lean on. Oh and her bestie Shamea Morton and baby Shya. Heck, she even has Kenya Moore and baby Brooklyn; not to mention her Dish Nation family.  Porsha Williams you have real back up on your side and most important God Got Her.

Screen Shot 2019-07-12 at 9.24.30 AMFrom the co-writer of Girls Trip comes First Wives Club, an original scripted series that celebrates the friends who are there when you need them the most.

We loved Ronreaco Lee in Survivors Remorse on the Starz Network and numerous other fim and television shows. But we get to see Ronreaco Lee in an entirely different acting mode as he plays the nerdy husband Gary in ‘The First Wives Club’ coming to BET.

Lee joined  2 of his castmates in a panel during the Essencefest at a BET event during festival weekend and everyone gushed about their roles on this new series. Keep logging on to BET.com for updates.

Everyone knew the Central Park 5 Story when the 5 teenagers from NYC were sentenced in 1989 but to see this story unfold on the big screen and feel the  pain and injustice these boys endured; especially Korey Wise. We were simply not prepared.

Scrapp Deleon to Attend Third Annual Creation of Fashion – June 1st

Screen Shot 2019-05-28 at 5.38.20 PMScrapp Deleon to attend the 3rd Annual Creation of Fashion Event on June 3rd in Dallas

Phaedra Parks is scheduled to be the host and mistress of ceremony at the 3rd Annual Creation of Fashion. Jamila T. Davis will also be a special guest as well as radio host Michael Moultrie. Letitia Scott-Jackson Co-Founder of Keeping Families Connected is elated about the weekend of events scheduled. She and her husband self fund this entire event to raise money for their non-profit organization “Keeping Family Connected.” Purchase tickets here.

This non profit provides luxury uber rides for families of incarcerated that have no transportation to visit their loved ones. Keeping Family Connected was created after the release of once (wrongfully accused) incarcerated Letitia Scott-Jackson; when she had no access to her family especially her kids because no one was able to provide them transportation to see her. This was an awful feeling she never wished anyone else to experience. Once released she and her husband decided to devote their lives to families of the incarcerated to make processing this new temporary way of life a little less painful for those grieving. Keeping Families Connected is definitely an organization that walks the walk and is not just about lip service.Screen Shot 2019-05-28 at 5.31.30 PMPlease join the above mentioned celebrity talent. Scrapp Deleon from Love & Hip Hop Atlanta (and newly released from Federal Prison in Georgia) will actually be a guest speaker at this event to drop gems of knowledge and comforting words of wisdom to the families that may help ease the pain of their situation. Advocate Jamila T Davis who also recently served several years in Federal Prison will also be a guest speaker at the Third Annual Creation of Fashion Show.
