The Real Housewives of Potomac
The word on the street is that I’m the word on the street.

On Bravo
A high-energy reality competition centered on wealthy African-American women navigating social hierarchy, status anxiety, and interpersonal drama in an exclusive Maryland enclave.
Just up the river from our nation’s capital lies a hidden gem—Potomac, Maryland. Its rolling hills, gated mansions, sophisticated prep schools, and exclusive country clubs all serve to keep the area invitation-only. Sprinkled throughout this community are a handful of old-line, wealthy African-American families who have historically broken racial barriers to provide a life of privilege for their children. In a town where entry is granted only through class, pedigree, and lineage, how far will the ladies go to secure their spot at the top of this prestigious circle?
