BET has named Essie Chambers as VP of original programming. Chambers will oversee all aspects of development for the network's reality and scripted series, as well as shows currently on the air.

Let's see what's really good because BET gets NO play on my TV anymore. Seriously, if any channel needed an absolute overhaul...its BET. When traveling to other parts of the world, especially being a woman of color, I have had to address many different and ignorant stereotypes just because of what people see on BET... real talk. I hope this sista can get it together and if not... I know who to address my letters of complaint to. Ya heard??
