Ernie Hudson and Valarie Pettiford preview “The Family Business”
SUMMARY:
Ernie: Working on five seasons of the show with the cast and crew, especially Valerie, has been amazing.

Why Watch the Show: It's a great show with a fantastic cast and compelling stories. It delves into family, drama, and the American dream's costs, showcasing Black family dynamics authentically and powerfully.
