The cast represents a new generation of influencers with a combined social media following of more than 19 million users who have used their personas and technology to build followings, launch and grow businesses, establish beauty and fashion trends, and create music that is commercially successful.
Kevin “Coach K” Lee, Pierre “P” Thomas, and Brian Sher for Quality Films, Karam Gill, as well as Tara Long and Gennifer Gardiner for eOne, are the executive producers of “The Impact ATL.” Angela Aguilera, SVP Music Programming and Development, and Connie Orlando, EVP Specials, Music Programming and Strategy, will be in charge of BET+.
