NEW YORK, Aug. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- This summer, BET will premiere FRANKIE & NEFFE, a spin-off of the network's top-rated reality show KEYSHIA COLE: THE WAY IT IS, where cameras intimately follow the wildly entertaining mother and sister of R&B singer Keyshia Cole. The new reality series, premiering at a special time of 10:30 p.m.* on Tuesday, August 25 chronicles the two as they strive to gain financial independence, while taking on the responsibilities of implementing and maintaining positive lifestyle changes, raising families, and handling the drama and men in their lives.

Breaking away from R&B star Keyshia Cole proves to be more difficult than expected, and emotions run high, but BET viewers will be rooting for this captivating mother and daughter through it all. With the help of life coach Lauren Lake, this dynamic duo tackles past hurts and explores new business endeavors as they transition to a new phase of their lives. The road to change is never easy and Frankie and Neffe will not always see eye to eye, but their love for each other and determination to make it will see these two through.
