Porsha Williams of The Real Housewives of Atlanta done pulled a Sanaa Lathan on us and we’re lovin’ it! Like Sanaa, Porsha is a very beautiful woman hands down, who can rock a paper bag and a mullet haircut and still be a banger. Sure, she once thought Harriet Tubman actually built a real underground railroad that runs from state to state, in order to free slaves. But we’re not talking about her mind her people, we’re talking about the incredible amount of beauty she’s graced with. Moving on…
So we all have seen Porsha, on The Real Housewives of Atlanta, wearing her weaves and wigs. On Thursday (10-12-17) though, her fans got a shock when Porsha hit ’em with a bald head and KILLED it! She debuted her new look on Instagram and revealed that her decision to chop it off was inspired by Sanaa Lathan’s recent bald ‘do:
“Bald is beautiful… inspo @sanaalathan … #twocanplaythatgame”
Check out her new look below…

I must admit that Porsha wasn’t one I’d think would have the courage to cut it all off, but I see I was clearly wrong. Ol’ girl workin’ the hell outta her baldness though! Get it Porsha!
Other Shaved Celebs For 2017
Now in case y’all missed the women who have entered the bald revolution lately, here are a few of ’em in all their shaved head glory…
Before Sanaa, there was K. Michelle. A few months before Sanaa shook up the internet with her bald swag, singer/reality star, K. Michelle, shaved it all off to help her be more connected with herself, as she explained online…
Then came Sanaa, who revealed she went bald for her new movie role…
And their sista from another mista, actress, Kate Hudson, (Goldie Hawn’s daughter) has been feeling liberated lately after cutting all her hair off for a movie role too…
And of course we can’t forget about singer, Keke Wyatt who’s reason for shaving her head earlier this year, was the most touching reason out of all of them. As her teen son was going through intense chemotherapy to treat his cancer, Keke emotionally took to social media to shave her head bald on Instagram Live. Her brother, Keever Wyatt, did her the honors.
Throwback Bald Empowerment
Of course we can’t talk about those lovely ladies without giving some of the ones who did waaaay before them, their props. So without further ado, we salute Erykah Badu, India Arie, Sinead O’Connor, and 70’s fashion model, Pat Evans (she posed with Isaac Hayes and on several classic Ohio Players album covers).

As y’all can see, ‘bald is the new black’ and it’s refreshing to witness woman taking a moment to show the world they are not defined by their hair, they’re defined by who they are on the inside- which makes them look even more beautiful than they already were on the outside.
