Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black plot
Here is a synopsis of the series as provided by Netflix site Tudum:
"The new series follows two women on very different life trajectories on a collision course toward each other. Taylor Polidore Williams ( Divorce in the Black , Snowfall ) plays Kimmie, who struggles to make ends meet after her mother kicks her out, while Mallory — played by Crystle Stewart ( For Better or Worse , Acrimony ) — finds success running her own business. Eventually, they find themselves entangled in each other’s lives.
"Set in Atlanta, the story brings together a wealthy Black family atop a hair care dynasty and an exotic dancer caught up in the seedy underbelly of a famed Magic City strip club."
