Porsha’s fiancé, Dennis McKinley, broke the news of her arrest on social media, and Porsha’s sister, Lauren Williams, soon followed. “She has always been fearless. You mess with her people, you mess with her. She takes the case of #breonnataylor personally and she’s sacrificing work, time with her loved ones, and her comfort to make sure the offenders are held accountable for their actions. This is her passion, this is her purpose. God please protect them,” Lauren wrote on Instagram.

I love you and as always praying for you Ms.Tamika Palmer (Mother of #BreonnaTaylor ) Ps: Thank you for waiting on us to get out! It was heart warming exiting and seeing your family?? @untilfreedom it was an honor @tamikadmallory.”
Porsha Williams spoke out about following in her grandfather’s social activist footsteps in June, on Watch What Happens Live and on Amplify Our Voices: An Open Dialogue on Being Black in America.
“I think he would be saddened that the work that he had done and the work that [Martin Luther] King [Jr.] and John Lewis, the work that they had done, we’re basically close to be in that [same position],” Porsha said during an Amplify conversation on June 8. “It’s not a race. This is a marathon. This is going to take some dedication… So I do think that he would be happy that we’re coming together visually to see that but I do believe he would want us to take that mission just as serious as they did and the way they dedicated their life to it, I would think he would want us to do the same thing no matter what race you are.”
