REVIEW:
I've watched Real Housewives of Atlanta from the start so I was eager to learn more about Miss Porsha, from her own words.
I learned a lot in fact. I saw her marriage to Kordell go down on tv, and now I understand why she chose a man like him. I understand why she tried to stay, work it out, even though literally every red flag on the planet was there.
I understand more about the show too, and how they like to take a storyline and run with it. Will I still watch? You bet!
I think I underestimated Porsha, just like so many others. I just don't know her enough and when you watch something so well crafted to look one way, you may miss the truth.
I respect and even admire her. She's been through a lot and came out better on the other end. That's the hardest part.

I'd love to win this because there is nothing better than a celeb biography. I am addicted to them. Not to mention I am a fan of Porsha & have been since her debut on RHOA.
