(New York) - March 27, 2014 - OWN:Oprah Winfrey Network has announced that Saturday,

April 12 marks the premiere date of the new docu-series, Love In the City, featuring the fast- paced lives of four fabulous friends living in New York City.  

  

Kiyah, Bershan, Chenoa and Tiffany have known each other for more than ten years, and are constant sources of inspiration, support, competition and companionship to one another. Kiyah, an ambitious and successful celebrity hair stylist and Clairol Professional Celebrity Spokesperson, is the link who brought the four friends together. New York's legendary Harlem neighborhood is where the quartet assembles on a regular basis over drinks, lunch, dinners, you name it! Two are married, two are single, and all are strong, fiercely independent women who believe in living out their dreams and not letting anyone or anything get in their way.

  

Through the group's adventures, misadventures, romances, successes and life-altering struggles, they may not always see eye-to-eye, but when push comes to shove, they are there for each other with solid and unwavering support as they each face their own unique challenges and triumphs.  

  

The series is produced by CORE Media Group. D'Angela Proctor, Jen O'Connell, Rob Lee and Lenid Rolov are executive producers; Paulina Williams and Glenn Stickley are co-executive producers.

of photography at Central Saint Martin's College of Arts and Design in
