In intimate settings, they reveal the personal and emotional journeys that have shaped their careers and influenced their success.

Featured participants include Tamika Mallory, activist; Dana Chanel, founder, Sprinkle of Jesus; April Reign, activist/creator #OscarsSoWhite; Mahisha Dellinger, CEO/founder, CURLS Beauty Brands; Tracy Garraud, co-host, Sway in The Morning and founder, She's Beauty and The Beast; Alicia Garza, activist/co-founder, Black Lives Matter; and more.

Cleo Speaks was conceptualized by TV One GM Michelle Rice, who was responsible for shepherding the development of CLEO TV, and will serve as the network's signature series.
