Brandi served 7 and a half years for conspiracy to distribute drugs and is dealing with trust issues as she raises her teenage son. Angela served 2 and a half years for white collar fraud and is dealing with her teenage son who is getting in trouble at school and in need of therapy. Tamika reveals that she found out that her husband might have fathered a child outside their marriage right before his sentencing for illegally cashing WIC checks.

From The Bottom Up is an 8 episode docu-series that will follow these women including Danielle Jones and Iesha Jeng as they work on themselves while they rise above the adversity and the scrutiny they have encountered in the public eye. They will learn how to communicate with their kids and most importantly they will learn the significance that the support from other women is and how it is vital to healing and redemption. 

Nicci Gilbert & the cast of ‘From the Bottom Up’ Season 3 chat with SiriusXM host Karen Hunter

Nicci Gilbert created the show from her own lowest moment. She explains,

“I wanted to create a show about women who achieved success then hit rock bottom in the public eye just like I had and show how they built their lives back up. I wanted a show where women could turn their mess into a message and their test into their testimony.”

The show has had 2 successful seasons where previous cast members Stacii Jae Johnson (Atlanta political fundraiser pulled over for DUI), Christine Beatty (Chief of Staff for Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick caught up in a sex scandal), Sara Stokes (former member of Diddy’s Making The Band 2 with domestic violence charges), Kim Smeadly (administered illegal butt injections to women across the US), and Chrystale Wilson (known from her role in the movie The Players Club) have all found their footing and are far from their bottoms.
