Their core mission and vision are to empower communities
and secure wealth for generations to come, and they also have a dream to further develop a valuable plot of commercial land that has been owned by the Braden family for decades, further establishing the family’s legacy in the Houston area. But complications
arise for the grandchildren as Oscarene contemplates dissolving the family assets in order to secure the financial futures of her own five children – Frank Jr., Charlotte, Cheryl, Nikki and Jackie.
In the premiere season the family will also confront many skeletons in the closet and multiple family dynamics from single motherhood to the challenges of being married into the Braden family. In pursuing their legacy, tensions may rise, but the Braden’s are family and always find a way
back to each other.
