While I'm very ecstatic to see more very intelligent,very talented black women on the scene, I am however, very disappointed to see the them displaying themselves in such trifling manner (REALLY!) Come on ladies, get it together / protect your brand! I can't even stand to watch this show, as I don't want that "whatever," in my spirit.... Yall know better!!

I happen upon this show and thought wow a positive drama free show. NOPE the first episode I see is a black women brunch in which they chase after the one white women in the room because she is uncomfortable about their experiences with racism. The Black women ran out of the brunch to comfort this lady.

It felt like a scene from the color purple in which Ms Millie took Oprah to see their kids and was scared of the black guys helping her with her car and became hysterical. This show is a hot mess. Horrible

My main issue with this show was Kaylon. Do you see how easy it was for her to infiltrate the show and come after a woman of color? That was the most infuriating thing about this show. Now Marie I love her. However she needs to learn how not to react to everything. There are ways to go about it without coming off like the stereotypical angry black woman. Latrice you do a lot of mean girl stuff and expect no repercussions. Now I love how your husband is with you. You can tell he genuinely loves you. But honey that talking about folks and snickering with your friends about it is very childish. Now Dr. Liles I will call her that. She earned that title. But that victim role you was playing is not it honey. Then to state you never experienced racism. I almost threw my remote at the tv. White ppl look for ppl like you to say see there is no racism. Hell Kaylon played you like a fiddle and you still don't realize it. As for Leteisha I so love her through and through. She knew how to keep it G and classy at the same time. What she did not do was allow the other ladies to down talk Marie. She respected the loyalty Marie has shown her and reciprocated it. Marie also was so open about the ups and down about her relationship with her husband. I love them both. They are still making it happen together. And finally the one that had to grow on me the bubbly Tambra. She too kept it 100 about her choices in life. So all in all I think the show is great. It even makes Mississippi looks livable. Even though I would never live there. Because truly where they live is a real small part of the big state of Mississippi. Mississippi still call ppl boy and gal .

Decent reality show once given a chance. It began rather slowly, but most do. If you're a true reality tv show watcher, you'll know that most of them don't really pick up momentum until half-way the season. And, they typically don't find their mojo, if ever, until the 2nd to 3rd season. It's much like over 80% of most tv shows. The best seasons are typically around the 3rd season but almost always not the 1st. Nonetheless, I found the show rather interesting and inspiring, and I especially like the fact that they showcase the ladies' careers and talents and some of what the city of Jackson has to offer. There's much room for improvement if they are allowed to further develop the show and allow the ladies to find their place in it.

As for all of them not being millionaires, I believe at least two are. So, that falls squarely in line with nearly EVERY Housewives franchise ever made. Out of 6 or 7 housewives, only one or two are actually houseWIVES and the rest are ex-girlfriends (not ex-wives) of former/retired pro athletes/rising pro athletes, etc. As for the show being too scripted, isn't that the case of every reality show on tv today? It's just that some of the participants are better actors than others...the better the actor, the less scripted it appears. It's for entertainment purposes only. All of them are. But, judging from the countless reality tv shows out there today (many of which have gone several seasons), it goes without saying that each were given a chance. So, let's do the same for this show and see where it takes us.

None of these people on this show are millionaires. The show is a FAKE. Do your due diligence and look them up. They do not represent African American women entrepreneurs in Jackson, MS.
