A comical yet serious look at the stuff "we" gossip about.
“Conversations for Sistas Only” features nine women and two male characters. The show begins by bringing you into the home of Carol Ann, who is unapologetic about her secret lifestyle. She keeps a little secret about her sexual preference until the end of her pajama party.
During a lonely night at her home, Carol Ann invites several of her girlfriends to come over for an empowerment pajama party. That pajama party turned into a night the women would never forget. During their visit, Carol Ann shared a little wine, some hot tea, some lies, and her little secrets. It didn’t take long before they all discovered many secrets would be revealed that could potentially break up the women’s long-time friendship.
