Raising Whitley Season 2, Episode 1: Momma Sexy is Back

“Raising Whitley” season 2, episode 1: “Momma Sexy is Back” premieres tonight on OWN and  Kym Whitley is back in action and busier than ever!

In the season 2 premiere, actress, comedienne and mom, Kym Whitley, is back with her son Joshua and her riotous group of friends she calls “The Village.” As Kym plans her star-studded  “40th” birthday party, she and Rodney struggle to adjust to their awkward living situation. Now that Rodney has moved in, she has a whole new world of problems to deal with. Find out how this Hollywood mom juggles her job, raising a child, her friends plus Rodney in her “man-space” and still manages to retain her wit and charm.

Here is OWN’s synopsis of the series:

“‘Raising Whitley’ is a humorous, poignant new docu-series following actress and comedienne Kym Whitley and her riotous collective of friends – whom she calls ‘The Village’ – as they attempt to do something none of them have ever done before: raise a baby… together. When Kym signed up to mentor a troubled young girl, she never imagined she’d get a call from the hospital saying, “Your baby is ready.” After learning that her mentee exited the maternity ward leaving only Kym’s contact information, Kym experienced a cataclysmic moment. With less than an hour to make a life-changing decision – and to do a lifetime of soul-searching – Kym chose to become a mother. The Village banded together to help Kym bring up baby Joshua the best they know how, but sometimes it’s hard to tell who is more mature – Joshua or the adults tasked with raising him. Over the season, Kym learns the chaotic realities of becoming a full-time mom: She realizes that, while Craigslist may be perfect for finding an old couch, it’s not ideal for finding a new nanny; she survives Joshua’s first haircut; she gets her groove back on a manhunt with her girlfriends; and she discovers that being ‘just friends’ with Joshua’s ‘daddy’ may not be that simple.”

“Raising Whitley” season 2, episode 1: “Momma Sexy is Back” airs Saturday,  Jan. 4, at 10:00 p.m. EST, on OWN.  Check out the preview below.

 

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
