Acclaimed author Terry McMillan, a Port Huron native, has a new partnership venture with Lifetime. The collaboration aims to bring forth a series of new, original films focusing on the intricate love stories and lives of African American women, coinciding with Lifetime’s 40th anniversary celebrations.
Born in Port Huron, Michigan, McMillan’s prolific literary career has also inspired hit films like “How Stella Got Her Groove Back” and “Waiting to Exhale.”
She highlighted the importance of authenticity in storytelling, praising Lifetime for providing a platform to share women’s narratives genuinely.
This isn’t the first time McMillan and Lifetime have joined forces; their previous collaboration in 2014 resulted in the film “A Day Late and a Dollar Short.” Now, under the banner of “Terry McMillan Presents,” upcoming movies will continue this tradition, with announcements regarding titles and casting expected later this year.
