Meet the cast:
With a statuesque six-foot-two frame, shaved head and steely glare,
Dr. Imani Walker is a striking and outspoken psychiatrist who serves as Medical Director of Gateways Hospital & Mental Health Center in LA. Dr. Imani deals with patients who suffer from mental issues, homelessness, schizophrenia and chronic depression. After long and arduous work days, Imani wants nothing more than to enjoy a quiet night at home with her husband, Phil Johnson, from the 90's R&B group "Portrait" and son, Idris. This year, Imani is working on breaking the cycles from her complicated childhood. Having found out that her father has overcome a drug habit, Imani feels the timing is right for the two of them to rebuild a relationship and pursues meeting up with him for the first time in decades. When issues are spinning out of control in Imani's personal life, she enjoys the control and rewards she gets from her high-pressure career. Imani is normally stoic and controlled, but when something happens that strikes a nerve, she is quick to snap back.
Asha Kamali-Blankinship is an actress married to Dr. Larry Blankinship, a Physiatrist (Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation physician) who specializes in patients with pinched nerves in their neck or back. While she is a doctor's wife, Asha prides herself on being a multi-hyphenate actress, producer and writer and believes in creating opportunities for yourself. Along with a fellow group of driven African American ladies, Asha created the web series Milk & Honey, a show that poses the question, "Is there an expiration date on your dreams?" which often mirrors Asha's own fears. At this point in her life, Asha's number one priority is having a baby but as her marriage to Larry is still fairly new, she has to get him on board first. Sensitive to negative comments about her relationship, Asha goes head-to-head with Shanique when she implies that there could have been infidelity in the early stages of Asha and Larry's life together.
Dr. Noelle Reid owns Trinity Health and Wellness Center in Beverly Glen and firmly believes in an East meets West approach to medicine. Her duties as a family doctor encompasses everything from giving pap smears and prostate exams to physicals and treating STD's.In addition to her traditional medical practice, she also has a studio where she teaches yoga and meditation multiple times a week. Noelle is all about surviving and thriving, going through residency as a single mom and opening her own medical practice less than a year later. At that time, she felt like her daughter Gabby was her co-pilot and she wondered if she would ever find that special someone, but that all changed five and a half years ago when she met her husband Erin Vines and finally completed the family picture. Being a doctor who owns and operates her own practice, Noelle struggles to balance her family and work life. With the milestone age of 40 on the horizon, this year she is all about reconnecting to herself and being grateful for the things she's accomplished.
