Sister President

SISTER PRESIDENT centers around Shona Washington (Butler) and her sister Kitara (Michelle N. Carter), who find themselves in a complex and unexpected situation with undesirable consequences for failure. After criticizing the President of the United States at a virtual town hall meeting, the quietly-intelligent Shona and her outspoken sister Kitara, are challenged by the current President to run the country. The only catch is at the end of six months, their approval rating must be 10 points higher than his, or they both go to prison for the duration of his term.

This series serves-up serious, real-life issues with a side of humor. 

A Note From Show Creator, Nicole J. Butler:

“This show is a depiction of #BlackGirlMagic at the helm of The United States of America, and an antidote to the powerlessness that so many people feel right now. It is an expression of love for culture and country, and an admonishment to meet opportunity head-on, however imperfectly. We are not powerless!”
