What's the Story?
SHE'S THE BOSS is a reality series starring entrepreneur Nicole Walters and her family. The income strategist, who is famous for quitting her six-figure sales job at Periscope in 2015, now runs her successful online company from Atlanta. She lives there with her husband, stay-at-home attorney Josh Walters, and two of their adopted daughters, Krissy and Ally. Also joining them is Nicole's exuberant personal assistant and family "manny," Eddie Bernardez. There's never a dull moment, but this tight-knit family faces everything with positive communication and love.
Is It Any Good?
This lively unscripted series features the Walters family enjoying their day-to-day lives. From helping their daughters make positive decisions for themselves, to managing Eddie's larger-than-life personality, Nicole and Josh create a loving environment in which everyone thrives.
While there are many stilted, contrived moments (nothing you haven't seen on other reality shows), there's a sweetness to this series that makes it truly likable. Meanwhile, She's The Boss offers a positive representation of Black adoptive families. If you're looking for a lighthearted, family-themed reality show, you'll certainly find it here.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about the story behind Krissy and Ally's adoption. What messages does She's The Boss offer about family? Why do you think Nicole Walters chooses to be so public about their family's lived experience?
Do you think the family's behavior remains the same when the cameras are turned off? Are there any specific events that bring you to this conclusion?
