She plays Naomi on BTG, and she&#8217;s been great on the new series.

Here you\u2019ll find a posh gated community with winding tree-lined streets and luxurious mansions to call home. At the center of this community are the Duprees, a powerful and prestigious multi-generational family that is the very definition of Black royalty. But behind these pristine walls and lush, manicured gardens are juicy secrets and scandals waiting to be uncovered. And those who live outside these gates are watching closely. These are the places where our characters live, love, work and play. Those who have \u201cmade it\u201d and those who haven\u2019t are all trying to navigate life \u2026 and some with more grace than others.<\/p>\n<p align=\"justify\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-64326 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/tvmeg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/prepetitbio.png\" alt=\"Arielle Prepetit (Naomi) of &quot;Beyond the Gates&quot; on CBS.
