Real Housewives of Atlanta star Porsha Williams dropped by JET’s New York City office. Check out what she had to say about life post ex-husband Kordell Stewart, building her own empire, Underground Railroad-gate and more. This is no holds barred— Porsha tells all.

On Thinking the Underground Railroad Was a Real Train:

“It was a brain lapse. I have Porsha moments that you’ve seen on the show before. For me seeing that I knew that I had to go back and brush up on my history so I’m representing my legacy well.”

On Financial Independence:

“I have a new hair line called Naked Hair , so I’ve been putting a lot of time into that. I found a hair vendor that I really love — it’s top of the line hair— and decided to share. It’s online right now and I’m working on a location. I’d like to have a salon with a boutique next door. We can have events there and talk about hair care.”

On Being More Than a Kept Woman:

“After high school, I attended AIU college and majored in business information technology. Then I was in sales, I worked in furniture sales at Rooms-t0-Go. I also worked at Center for Disease Control. I always had a job, or two. My mother was an entrepreneur and so was my father, so  it just was in my blood to want to own something for myself. Before I became a wife I had my own business, a childcare center, that I started when I was 24 years old.  My mother was in the field, so I saved  up money from previous jobs and got my own location. You can be spoiled and still know how to handle business.”

On Dancing in Music Videos:

“That was around when I was 21. It’s what you did in Atlanta when you wanted to become a model, and you were young and beautiful. They pay you to walk across the screen and that’s what I did. I had a good time back then. It’s not like I danced on a table top naked. I was young and having a good time. Most girls at that age are dancing at a night club and I was in a video working as a model at that time. It was professional. I’d go to work and leave.”

On Acting Up:

“I was recently in Kandi Burruss’ play, A Mother’s Love. I was singing and acting and I got the bug.”

On Buying Her Big House – Solo:

“It was the same cost as a condo, and I have big family. So for me it was a smart decision. It was the right price. It was the right timing so I jumped on it. It’s been the best thing. We have BBQs there. We had Christmas there. I just love being in my home, so it was well worth it for me.”

On Watching Her Divorce on TV:

“It was a journey. Most women who go through a divorce get to experience behind closed doors. I’m going through it on national television. When I watch it I just see my growth and I’m proud of myself. Even though I didn’t feel up to doing some things at the time I did it. Now I feel like my heart caught up and I’m getting back to Porsha.”

On Her Relationship with Kordell — and Questioning His Sexual Preference:

“We don’t speak now. When I watch myself on the show I know those were my feelings at the time and I own it. It was a hurtful point in my life and that was just me being real. Am I still at that place? No. I just want to learn from my mistakes. I don’t have any regrets.”

On Marriage and Dating the New Porsha:

“I am a hopeless romantic. I do believe in love and I will definitely get married again. I feel like I was a great wife. I gave my all in my marriage. My next husband will get a woman who knows what she wants and has a voice.”
