Faces of Rap Mothers™, the visionary brand founded by Candy Strother DeVore-Mitchell, first emerged as a reality television concept preliminarily released through a private channel network. The original script, penned by Director Walter Franks, laid the foundation for a series that explored the lives and legacies of women connected to the rap and hip-hop industry. However, due to production delays, the initial filming and release were postponed.

​

In response, Candy Strother DeVore-Mitchell re-envisioned the project, crafting a revised script that deepened the narrative and expanded its cultural reach. This creative pivot marked a new chapter for Faces of Rap Mothers™, transitioning from episodic television to cinematic storytelling.

Currently, the brand is in active production on its first feature film, with Walter Franks returning as Director to support Candy in her debut as a film creator. This collaboration signals a powerful evolution—from reality TV to scripted cinema—bringing the stories of rap mothers to the big screen with authenticity, artistry, and impact.

​

DonnaInk Publications, led by Ms. Donna L. Quesinberry, proudly serves as the literary publishing partner for the brand, supporting its print catalog and ghostwriting initiatives to ensure continuity across media platforms. Together, these creative forces are building a legacy of entertainment that honors the women behind the music while inspiring audiences worldwide.
