At 35 weeks Porsche looked absolutely amazing, especially because of the fact that she was carrying not just one but two baby boys.
Almost immediately after Porsche posted the picture, the rude comments began to pour in with people calling Porsche “nasty” and wondering why her belly was “so black.”
Instead of taking the bait and attacking the bullies back, Porsche had a comeback that stopped all the bullies in their tracks. She posted the photo below to her Instagram account sharing her pregnant belly in all of its glorious beauty.

“While some of y’all been in my comments criticizing the blackness that is my belly and me during what shoulda been your holiday cheer, I been over here enjoying life, growing tiny humans, performing miracles and hopefully getting even blacker,” she wrote in her powerful caption.
On January 7th of this year, she welcomed her two little miracles into the world.
