OWN has shared exciting news about Heart & Hustle: Houston, a stirring series featuring a southern sisterhood of Black women thriving deep down in H-Town.
Premiering Saturday, August 2nd at 9pm ET/PT, Heart & Hustle: Houston “redefines what it means to be a boss, a wife, and a mother while navigating entrepreneurial life, plus a labyrinth of unique daily challenges.”
Despite appearing to have it all, they face insecurities and pressures to stay on top in a competitive town while maintaining a perfect image. But through it all, their unbreakable bond of sisterhood and support inspires them to rise above the chaos, reminding them it’s okay to be perfectly imperfect.
“Heart & Hustle: Houston brings a fresh, dynamic perspective—one that centers Black women not just in conflict, but in community, healing, and growth. It’s a powerful look at ambition, resilience, and the bonds that hold friendships together, even through life’s toughest moments,” said Tina Perry, President of OWN, in an official statement about the series.
Through vulnerability, a little competition, and a lot of laughter, this group proves that with the right people around you, your very best self will shine. Welcome to Heart & Hustle: Houston – where the hustle never stops, but the heart always leads.
Check out the trailer for the Emmy Award-winning Jesse Collins Entertainment-produced series.
