Who caught OWN’s pilot of Crazy.Sexy.Life?
The new reality show will follow the lives of 4 successful African-American women – Kiyah, Bershan, Chenoa and Tiffany. The quartet have known each other for more than ten years. Kiyah, a celebrity hair stylist, is the link that brings the friends together, and Harlem is where they come together. Two are married, two are single, and all are independent who believe in living out their dreams.
So happy to see a show like this on TV. Most of my friends are over 30, college educated, no kids, living independently and successful. Yet out of all these reality shows, not one hit that demographic market. The only successful black women on TV now are the baby mama’s of some athlete or musician. I’m assuming that since its on OWN I shouldn’t expect to see any sort of violence.
The series will premiere in early 2014.
Cast
As she approaches the big 4-0, Kiyah is hearing the very loud ticking of her biological clock, even though her 27 year-old boyfriend may not be “the one.” Chenoa put her life and a professional photography career on hold to build a family with her husband. However, after spending more than $150,000 on fertility treatments, she is not certain traditional marriage is right for her any more.
Bershan is a survivor, both literally and figuratively. Stage four breast cancer didn’t stop her and she is not letting anything else, either. She is a dynamic businesswoman who earned her success through hard work and talent, and she appreciates every moment. Bershan married well, and has enjoyed the perks of a wealthy husband for several years now, but she is too independent to be “kept,” so she is ready to stake her claim as a successful businesswoman. Tiffany, also a breast cancer survivor, is an outspoken free spirit who has always made her own way. She manages a boutique fashion house in Soho.
