Tracey Edmonds Hosts Queen Boss – New Reality Competition Show For Black Women

02 Jan Tracey Edmonds Hosts Queen Boss – New Reality Competition Show For Black Women

Well, alright now. This is going to be exciting.

Emmy Award-winning TV personality and CEO Tracey Edmonds is set to host a new reality competition show looking to crown the best Black female entrepreneurs across the country. Queen Boss, the 8-episode series, will premiere on Saturday, January 14 at 10:00 PM ET on Centric.  

Each week, three new female entrepreneurs will enter the “Queen Boss Conference Room” to pitch their products to a panel of celebrity judges. The judges will put the boss babes to the test to see who has what it takes to win the grand prize $25,000 “Queen Boss Start-Up Fund” and the “Queen Boss” title!

The show’s accomplished panel of celebrity judges include:

Vanessa Simmons – TV personality and businesswoman

Lisa Price – Entrepreneur and Founder of the beauty brand Carol’s Daughter

Kandi Burruss – Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, television personality, and Businesswoman

Lauren Lake – Lawyer, Author, Interior Designer and Real Estate Developer

Carla Hall – Chef, Television Personality, and owner of Carla Hall’s Southern Kitchen in Brooklyn, New York

Mikki Taylor – Author, Speaker, and former Beauty Director and Cover Editor of ESSENCE magazine

Robin Wilson – Interior Designer and Author

Rakia Reynolds – Entrepreneur and Founder of Skai Blue Media

Angela Benton – Founder & CEO of NewME Accelerator

How the “Queen Boss” Series Works:

Every episode of “Queen Boss” will feature two separate competition rounds. First, three competing entrepreneurs pitch their individual products to the judges who with the host deliberates to cut one of the entrepreneurs from the competition.

In the second round, the remaining entrepreneurs compete against each other in a business challenge. The challenges – which include everything from elevator pitching to creating a viral social media campaign – take the competitors out of the boardroom to the streets of New York City to see if they can show judges they have the smarts and creativity to take home the grand prize.

Winners of the first 6 episodes will return for the semi-final and final round episodes where the judges will eliminate competitors until the final surviving female is selected the “Queen Boss.”

Based on the panel of judges alone, you know there is going to be some serious Black girl magic and business lessons shared each week. I’m totally excited to watch this entrepreneur competition series and look forward to seeing which awesome business maven gets to wear the crown.

All hail the Queens!!!
