A new chapter of sisterhood, strength, and self-discovery is unfolding in Birmingham, Alabama, and it's arriving on national television. The ladies of Belle Collective: Birmingham are bringing the city's vibrancy, resilience, and entrepreneurial spirit to the forefront, and in doing so, they are telling stories that deeply reflect and celebrate Black women. Premiering on the Oprah Winfrey Network (OWN) on April 10, the series introduces viewers to a dynamic group of women navigating business, relationships, personal growth, and friendship — all rooted in their connection to Birmingham.

Why it matters

At its core, Belle Collective: Birmingham is more than reality television — it's a mirror, reflecting the beauty and complexity of Black womanhood. Each of the women brings a unique relationship to Birmingham that shapes not only who they are, but how they move through the world. The show promises authenticity, unfiltered and deeply human, as the women navigate life's challenges and growth.

The details

The series features four dynamic women: K'la Inman, who found her home in Birmingham after moving from Buffalo, New York as a child; Tiffaney Jones, a proud Birmingham native who embodies the city's spirit; Funmi Ford, who found love and faith in Birmingham after immigrating from Nigeria; and Amber Jones, a former UAB basketball standout who chose Birmingham to build her legacy.
