Porsha Williams has been having an amazing 2014 so far and it appears the blessing are still coming. Starting with the success of ‘Real Housewives of Atlanta’ which her contract was ultimately renewed for despite initial rumors, and finding love with a new man who she says fans will meet when she reveals him in the upcoming season 7 of the show and then Porsha landed a co-hosting spot for the summer on Dish Nation with the ‘Rickey Smiley Morning Show’.
Well now it looks like her summer internship has paid off, as it was just announced today that the ‘Flatline’ singer was offered a permanent spot on the nationally syndicated show. According to the press release:
NEW YORK — Porsha Williams, star of “The Real Housewives of Atlanta”, has been named permanent co-host on the entertainment magazine television program, DISH NATION. Based in Atlanta, with the “Rickey Smiley Morning Show”, Porsha brings her distinct perspective on breaking celebrity news and gossip.
