'You can't have a show about New York and not have a Black woman's lens represented.' (via toofab)

"So when we talk -- I talk about diversity and increasing opportunities for Black people in this country specifically, it's really not about like, 'Oh, it's the right thing to do...,'" Williams continued."I don't really think that argument works because if that were the case, if people were gonna do what was the right thing to do, it would've been done a long time ago. So the argument that I really stick to is it's good for business.

She added,"An offering of whatever it is, if it's law, if it's academia, if it's finance and real estate, in this case, television, where more people get to see themselves and their experience is represented in a fuller way because it's not displacing white people. It's not like they kicked off all the white 'Housewives' to bring me on."

If fans want to learn more about Williams ahead of Season 13, she recommended they read her book,"Pretty Powerful: Appearance, Substance, and Success." In addition to bringing a fresh perspective to the series, William said fans can expect to see,"a fuller woman that is looking to define family for herself. That loves love and is not going to give up on love. That is, I have a very strong sense of humor that some people get some people don't. We'll see. And I just have a big heart."
