HBAS Alums to launch web series on BET.com starting Tuesday, November 24th! 

Just over a year ago, Julian Breece (A.B. '03) and Aaliyah Williams (A.B. '02) embarked upon the journey to realize their vision for a web series, BUPPIES.  BUPPIES, starring classmate and actress, Tatyana Ali (A.B. '02), is the story of five African American friends mining their way through the social wasteland that can be Hollywood and all of their deliciously juicy intertwining relationships.

We are so excited to announce the premiere of their first episode in the series on Tuesday, November 24th on BET.com:  http://buppies.bet.com/.  The series will run for ten weeks with new episodes uploaded every Tuesday at 3pm EST. 

Below please find the full story of Breece and Williams's  journey to this incredible point, as well as a preview clip and a link to Aaliyah's  recent interview on NPR's Here and Now discussing the show and the shift of Black TV online.

Join in the fun that is BUPPIES!!  Spread the good word!
