Melissa De Sousa, Tisha Campbell & Amiyah Scott Are Out for Justice in ‘Operation: Aunties’

Dawn Mikayla

You’ve never seen Aunties like this.

In the upcoming ALLBLK original film Operation: Aunties, an unlikely trio of women becomes the justice system they wish they had. When a rideshare trafficking scheme hits too close to home, Dr. Carol Cleavers (Melissa De Sousa), a brilliant blockchain professor, uncovers a dark web conspiracy targeting women.

With law enforcement dragging their feet, Carol calls on her ride-or-die best friend, retired detective Sharon O’Hara (Tisha Campbell), and her tech-genius niece, Aminah (Amiyah Scott), to take matters into their own hands.

Together, the three form a cyber-age vigilante crew—tracking predators, fighting back, and proving aunties don’t play… they slay.

Directed by Emmy-winning actress Wendy Raquel Robinson, Operation: Aunties brings sharp humor, suspense, and sisterhood in equal measure.

A Star-Packed Cast with Power & Presence

Alongside De Sousa, Campbell, and Scott, the cast also includes Kaye Singleton (Saints & Sinners, The Oval). The film is produced by TJ Ali, Latisha Fortune, and Sheena D. Carter, with ALLBLK executives Brett Dismuke, Nikki Love, and Kate Farrell at the helm.

This female-led production is a showcase of Black women telling bold stories—on their own terms.
