From writer and executive producer Karin Gist (\u201cStar,\u201d \u201cGrey\u2019s Anatomy\u201d) and executive producer Lee Daniels (\u201cEmpire,\u201d \u201cThe United States Vs. Billie Holiday\u201d), OUR KIND OF PEOPLE<\/strong> follows a strong-willed, single mom as she sets out to reclaim her family\u2019s name and make an impact with her revolutionary haircare line that highlights the innate, natural beauty of black women. But she soon discovers a dark secret about her own mother\u2019s past that will turn her world upside-down and shake up this community forever. The show is a soapy, thrilling exploration of race and class in America and an unapologetic celebration of black resilience and achievement.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
