Tavis Smiley announced a bevy of new projects, including a new television series, less than a month after being ousted by PBS amid allegations of “sexual misconduct.”
In a Facebook video posted Monday afternoon, Smiley said his new weekly online series “The Upside With Tavis Smiley” will “celebrate the spirit of resilience, the power to overcome that resides in each of us.” He said the show would be distributed by the Word Network, which bills itself as the “largest African-American religious network in the world.” The show is expected to debut in the spring.
“We are thrilled to have Tavis share his insightful programming with our vast audience,” Kevin Adell, the network’s chief executive, said in a statement.
Smiley is also planning a five-city town-hall-style tour called “The Conversation: Women, Men and the Workplace” in which he says he will discuss “how to create safe and healthy work environments.”

Tavis is a preacher??
Tavis Smiley on a religious network.
An odd pairing in my opinion.
The Church of What’s Happening Now.
Hallelujah!
Great! A black Jimmy Swaggart,
overcoming doesn’t reside in all of us. God either helps us truly overcome - or -we find a way on our own without really overcoming the root issue.
I don’t know much about Tavis, but if accusations had merit, he needs help not some new show pushed on a Christian channel that sounds more self doing than God doing.
Tavis is a preacher??“
He is a black supreamacist
The only officially "African American" religion that I can think of is Nation of Islam.
Aren’t they all preachers?
Smiley is also planning a five-city town-hall-style tour called “The Conversation: Women, Men and the Workplace”
Holy crap!! After being fired of sexual misconduct at work, they give him this gig. I guess they chose him because he has so much experience with the problems that come with it.
A worthless racist
