Last night, television personality and entrepreneur Bevy Smith hosted a private screening and celebration for the Amazon Prime’s forthcoming coming New York based series, Harlem
At Harlem Parish in it’s namesake’s Manhattan neighborhood on W. 118th Street, the esteemed host and several cast members gathered to promote the series and take questions from invited journalists, athletes, celebrities and tastemakers.
In definitive “Black Excellence”, the elaborate event showcased the visual works of local visual artists while Venus X created a soulful ambience with music fitting of such a spectacular cultural event. It was a beautiful homage to one of the most prominent African American neighborhoods in the country.
Created, written, and executive produced by Tracy Oliver (Girls Trip, Barbershop: The Next Cut and BET’s First Wives Club), the comedy series follows four stylish and ambitious best girlfriends in Harlem, New York City: a rising star professor struggling to make space for her love life; a savvy tech entrepreneur always dating someone new; a no-filter singer; and a hopeless romantic fashion designer. Together, they level up into the next phase of their careers, relationships, and big city dreams.
The series stars Meagan Good as “Camille,” Grace Byers as “Quinn,” Shoniqua Shandai as “Angie,” Jerrie Johnson as “Tye,” and Tyler LePley as “Ian.” Additional recurring guest stars include Jasmine Guy as “Patricia,” Whoopi Goldberg as “Dr. Elise Pruitt,” Andrea Martin as “Robin,” Robert Ri’chard as “Shawn,” Juani Feliz as “Isabela,” Kate Rockwell as “Ana,” and Sullivan Jones as “Jameson.”
