Rising Star Nia Miranda Nwosuocha Commands the Screen as Sharp-Tongued Roller-Skating "Mean Girl" in New Southern Drama Series

ATLANTA, GA, UNITED STATES, November 5, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Detroit’s own Nia Miranda (Nwosuocha) is captivating audiences as Bria, the sharp-tongued, roller-skating force of nature at the center of G.R.I.T.S. (Girls Raised in the South) now streaming on ALLBLK. The new original series, which premiered October 30, follows three women hustling, healing, and skating their way through life in Memphis, Tennessee.

G.R.I.T.S. follows three Memphis women whose lives intersect at their local skating rink. Keisha battles overwhelming grief after losing her ex-boyfriend to violence, Ty faces the prospect of losing her scholarship and only pathway out of economic hardship, and Francis takes dangerous risks working for quick money. When they discover a skating competition with life-changing prize money, their shared passion becomes their potential salvation transforming recreation into real stakes and hope for a better future.

Nwosuocha, known for her roles in S.W.A.T. (CBS) and McGraw Ave (U-CULT TV), delivers a magnetic performance as Bria, a character defined by her Memphis attitude, main-character energy, and impossibly sharp wit. She's smart-mouthed, messy, and impossible to ignore the kind of "mean girl" who commands every scene she's in.

"It's important that our stories are told by us and through our lenses," Nwosuocha said. "Especially in the South, when most of the stories focus on our past traumas. G.R.I.T.S. allows us to celebrate our southern roots and the vibrant roller skating culture. I grew up roller skating and picked the hobby back up during the pandemic."

Alongside series leads Jasmine Sargent (Keisha), Ashanti Harris (Ty), and Aja “Slimeroni” Canyon (Francis), Nwosuocha delivers a performance layered with humor, heartbreak, and authentic Southern sisterhood.

The eight-episode ALLBLK Original Series created and executive produced by Deji LaRay (Bronzeville, Johnson) debuted October 30, 2025, exclusively on ALLBLK, the streaming service from AMC Networks dedicated to Black television and film.

Jones, Martha Sanchez, Brett Dismuke (Head of Content, ALLBLK/WE tv), Nikki Love (SVP, Development & Original Production, Scripted), and Ashley McFarlin(VP, Development & Original Production, Scripted).

Black Girl Nerds The series aims to portray authentic Southern sisterhood and features dedicated dialect coaches to maintain regional authenticity.
