Eat Slay Love is now streaming on Peacock, following a cast of American celebrities on the trip of a lifetime in Vietnam. 

The reality series follows in the footsteps of Bravo hits like the Real Housewives franchise. It sees reality TV star/Grammy-nominee Nivea gathering her three best friends to visit Southeast Asia for her 42nd birthday. 

In typical reality TV fashion, however, this turns into a zany adventure abroad full of drama, joy, and self-discovery.

Grammy-nominee Nivea (aka Nivia B. Hamilton) is the catalyst that starts the adventure that would become Eat Slay Love. As the Atlanta native hits middle-age, she decides to get her best gal pals together to travel across the world to Vietnam to celebrate her 42nd birthday. 

During her time abroad, Nivea has a bit of a spiritual awakening, discovering the joys of immersing oneself in a culture wholly foreign to their own. 

Nivea is best known for her R&B musical stylings, as well as appearances in the Peacock Queen's Court reality series and UPN's The Parkers
