The announcement was made Monday by Amy Introcaso-Davis, senior vice president of original programming and development for Oxygen Media.

"Russell Simmons is a fascinating man and seeing his world through the eyes of his dream team, comprised of strong, passionate women, provides a unique experience for our viewers," Introcaso-Davis said in a statement. "We're excited to team up with Russell on this project and shine the spotlight on his core group that are living the dream alongside him."

"Throughout my career I have surrounded myself with people smarter than me," added Simmons. "This show will let them shine and provide insight into how we build our empire from the inside out."
