Donnie McClurkin once sang, “We fall down, but we get up.”  The song became a spiritual song of solace for those who may have fallen from grace or hit not-so-favorable points in their lives and even became a mantra for overcoming binding people, places or things.  In the same spirit of overcoming challenges and reclaiming victory, BET and Centric are launching a new docuseries, “From The Bottom Up”,based in Atlanta. From Executive Producers Queen Latifah and Nicci Gilbert, the show follows five high profile women after a publicized fall from grace. Starring Christine Beatty, Stacii Jae Johnson, Chrystale Wilson, Sara Stokes and Kim Smeadly; the six part series will follow them on the long road to redemption as they strive to change their lives, rebuild their families and live their dreams. The series provides an unfettered view into their world and the organic chaos within their individual lives, tackling real, raw, gritty, emotional and honest issues from women who are smiling on the outside, but two minutes from dying on the inside.  “FROM THE BOTTOM UP” premieres on Centric on January 16 at 10:00 pm ET.
