Plot Synopsis

JERSEY STRONG is reality series that follows the lives of two Newark women -- a lawyer and a former gang member -- who first met when Jayda was introduced to defense lawyer Brooke Barnett about her pending criminal case during Season 1 of the TV series BRICK CITY. Jayda, a former Blood, and Creep, a former Crip, are raising two children while pursuing their careers and following their dreams. Jayda, the founder of 9 Strong Women, continues to build mentorship programs for young women in Newark, and Creep balances a day job in sanitation with his dream of launching a comedy career. Meanwhile, Brooke is a trial attorney balancing the stress of high stakes litigation with the real life drama of raising two college-aged kids with Maggie, her partner in life and business. Each woman has her own issues: Jayda deals with her past life as a gang member, which sometimes leads to legal issues; Brooke deals with the conservative reactions her colleagues have about her relationship with Maggie.
