Raising Whitley

Raising Whitley (2013-2016)

EndedReality show

Raising Whitley is a humorous, poignant 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.

At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty.
