Karine Sho-Time Thornton Announces Production of New Cultural Conversation Series Highlighting Women’s Voices
New York, NY — (2025) — Media figure, cultural curator, and battle rap contributor Karine Sho-Time Thornton has officially begun development on a new conversation-based reality series centered on women’s voices, perspective, and presence in today’s culture. The project is currently using the working title SHO Talk, with the final title set to be revealed later.
The series is being developed in New York and will feature a diverse cast of women selected for their intelligence, lived experience, confidence, and ability to engage in thoughtful dialogue. The goal of the show is to create a space where discussions can be honest, direct, and even intense at times, without resorting to disrespect or chaos. The tone is focused, grown, and grounded in real conversation.
Thornton credits his mother, Bernadine Coleman, as the core inspiration behind the project. Her strength and guidance shaped his understanding of how important women are in shaping leadership, community, and direction. The series honors that influence by highlighting women who have something meaningful to say and the ability to stand on their perspective.
To guide the development and overall structure of the project, Thornton has brought together a professional support team that includes Andre Johnson, Jacqueline Scott, Jame CB Gray, Andrew Jackson, Kendria Norman, and Stephen Smith. Each member contributes industry background, strategic insight, and cultural awareness to ensure the show remains sincere and impactful.
Auditions have already taken place, with additional candidates currently under consideration. Casting is based on depth, articulation, and authenticity rather than shock value or staged drama. The show welcomes debate and difference in opinion, but prioritizes respect, self-awareness, and the ability to engage thoughtfully.
The series is confirmed to stream on Connect with COD, a platform dedicated to pushing culture forward. Conversations are also underway with additional networks for broader distribution. Production is scheduled to begin at the start of January.
Thornton remains committed to moving forward despite the challenges facing the entertainment industry.
“Where there is purpose, there is movement. If there is a will, there is a way.”
