The Real Housewives of New York City cast has officially added another Housewife to its roster for season 13 (which is already in production). Not only is Eboni K. Williams, 37, the newest NYC resident to receive an apple, but she is the franchise's first Black cast member. She's originally from North Carolina and is currently the host and executive producer of Revolt Black News, according to PEOPLE.

"NYC is filled with successful and dynamic Black women. I'm excited to join this legendary franchise as the first Black housewife," Eboni said in a statement about her new role on the show via PEOPLE. "Can't wait to share a slice of life in this city that hasn't been seen before. Anyone who's aware of my work knows I don't hold back. I'm going to keep it just as real here as I do everywhere else."

She added in an interview with Essence: "This franchise historically has not had a Black lens and now it will for the first time in 13 years. Im beyond. Im thrilled. Im honored. It is my great hope that my presence on this show will just do it justice. Do Black women justice. Do our culture justice. I can only hope to touch on the magic that are Black women."

Pretty Powerful: Appearance, Substance, and Success

In 2017, she released her memoir, Pretty Powerful: Appearance, Substance & Success. The book is about Eboni's rejection of the narrative that "being pretty comes at the expense of being taken seriously," according to the memoir's description on Amazon.

"If a woman is physically attractive, there is often a presumption that she lacks the substance and smarts necessary to provide leadership in business and other endeavors. This narrative implies that being pretty and being capable are mutually exclusive. But... Eboni Williams rejects that narrative," the description continues. "She says that to accept the false notion that beauty and power are mutually exclusive is to leave an incredibly powerful tool on the table. According to Williams, the knee-jerk reaction for most women is to feel shamed by the potential advantage their beauty grants them, but Williams says it's okay for women to take full advantage of the most immediate and obvious attribute at their disposal, encouraging women to embrace their beauty as positive and powerful."

Eboni told Essence that she is not married. In fact, she's the first to admit that shes not going to be "a typical housewife." Based on Eboni's Instagram, it doesn't seem like she's dating anyone. Or, if she is, she's keeping the relationship under wraps (on social media, anyway).

But that doesn't mean Eboni isn't thinking about having a familywhatever that may look like in her future. "I just turned 37 and Im at a place in my life [where] Im on the cusp of what does family look like for me? How do I define that? In CO-VID [times], if Ive learned nothing else, Ive learned that family is the single most important thing in the world, and its gonna be the most important thing in my world going forward. Thats new for me," she told Essence. "Viewers are gonna get to ride that journey with me as I go back to see where family is for me and what it is for me historically, and I start moving forward to creating a family of my own. Thats gonna be exciting. Its a little scary to kind of go there, but I know its necessary for me to become the full woman that I want to be."
