#TheImpactNY Trailer Showcases The Dynamic Cast’s Careers & Clashes

A trailer shared exclusively with BOSSIP shows the tastemakers managing their daily lives while impacting the culture in their own unique way.

Bernice is exploring entrepreneurship which includes working with her daughter Ashley who people often mistake for her sister. Meanwhile, Ashley is seen wanting to make her own impact despite being labeled a “nepo baby.”
Rappers DreamDoll and Chinese Kitty are gushing over their music success while Cleotrapra is seen going from making hilarious skits to hitting the recording studio. Ella Rodriguez a.k.a. Ella Bands, who shares a child with A-Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, is also seen in the trailer telling her friends that she wants to be known as more than a baby mama.

As for stylist Scot Louie, he’s confident about the impact he makes in the fashion world. “The entire industry as a whole needs me,” he says.  Elsewhere in the trailer, we meet Maleni Cruz known for viral videos with her fiancé Chicklet. The Dominican comedienne wants to delve into acting but her man seems unsupportive.

There’s also a tense moment when Chinese Kitty explodes over “not being scared of no hoe” and DreamDoll accusing someone of being “delulu.”

When it comes to culture, fashion, music, and finance, no other city compares to New York and it’s clear that these influencers are up for the challenge.
