“NYC is filled with successful and dynamic Black women. I’m excited to join this legendary franchise as the first Black housewife,” the attorney and TV host said on Oct. 8. “Can’t wait to share a slice of life in this city that hasn’t been seen before. Anyone who’s aware of my work knows I don’t hold back. I’m going to keep it just as real here as I do everywhere else.”
Shaw is also passionate about her career, which extends beyond motivational speaking and business coaching to include acting and hosting her own podcast, Buckle Up with Bershan Shaw. She’s shared the stage with notable speakers such as Les Brown and Tony Robbins, and a quick glance at her website shows photographs of her mixing and mingling with big names like Hillary Clinton, Kris Jenner, Robin Roberts and Prince Charles‘ wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall.
On top of everything else, Shaw has beaten breast cancer not only once, but twice—a journey that “has prepared me to live my best life,” she wrote.
