The conversation explored the reasons for joining the series, as cast members emphasized the appeal of collaborating with esteemed producer Carlos King and the chance to display various aspects of their personalities. Each member expressed their motivations for embarking on this reality TV journey, from Princess stepping out from behind the camera to Crystal’s quest for transparency.

Here are the responses from each cast member when asked about their motivation to join:

“For myself, it was the cast and Carlos King. I knew that everything Carlos does is a hit, and he’s a great producer,” Gocha stated.

“Well, for me, it was about trying something new. I’ve been behind the camera, and now I’m in front of the camera. And the cast is great, including Carlos. I think it was just a good fit for me to try something new in front of the camera,” Princess stated.

“I would have to say Carlos most definitely. He’s a dear friend of mine, and I trust him. So I felt this was a good situation, and there was no extra drama. And I enjoy all the ladies. It just made sense for me at this time of my life,” Smith stated.

“I have to piggyback on what they said, Carlos King. He had been trying to get me on other shows that he’s been a part of, like Housewives, and I didn’t do it. I declined those for years. I trust him, and this time I felt good about the lineup,” Foster stated.

“I hadn’t had the pleasure of knowing Carlos. I know him now, and I love him. He’s super-duper amazing. So if I knew him back then, I would probably say Carlos too, because he’s so dope. But it was my pastor. My pastor swayed me into coming back to reality TV. And then the lineup of the girls sealed the deal,” Pargo stated.

A prominent theme that arose from the discussion was the concept of representation and empowerment. The cast members highlighted the significance of featuring powerful black women who have built their own success and embrace their true selves. They strive to defy stereotypes and show that they can navigate success, vulnerability, and authenticity in a world that often tries to categorize them.
