As mothers, daughters, wives, sisters and "sisterfriends" we often become the glue that holds it all together. How as women do we take our roles to a place where we don't lose who we are in that position or stifle ourselves; enriching all our relationships and not the relationship we have within.Women are objectified in many situations. How do we turn the objectification into progress and profit? When women play hard, why are we viewed as bitches or when they attain wealth and opportunities attached to their man's success, they're viewed as gold diggers or ho's?
Only Women Wear High Heels will explore Womanhood and all it's complexity with Basketball Wives Royce Reed. We'll get her take on Women playing the game in a "Man's World"
Special Guest, Royce Reed

Here's a poem that fits the theme of the show and the theme of women everywhere
Miss Match
by Segun Olomofe
In a man’s world with a man’s drive and a man’s name
In a woman’s body with a woman’s heart and a woman’s pain
I need to fit in and I want to stand out
I must conquer the world and yet, my victory must not corrupt my humility
Miss Guided
Life is a game whose rules can depend on Grace or on tact
And love; a curveball, an illusion – only clear after the fact
The world is meant to be understood, says the philosopher
The world is meant to be left behind, says the believer
Miss Represent
There’s more to me if you’d only look within
But you cannot see past the clothes that I wear, my smile, or my hair…
I am a wealth of knowledge, a sea of curiosity, a lover of wisdom…
But then I distract you with my very need to appeal to you
Miss Conclusion
I know what you’re thinking; your eyes give you away
Your actions, they tell me you don’t mean what you say
But wait…I accused you, and then did the same to you
I didn’t look past that which I could see
I didn’t think twice about the things that I heard
I am the Judge and I am the jury.
And you are guilty because you are guilty.
You lost the case based on my conclusions –
I made my conclusions based on my preconceptions.
Fini.
