Buckle up. "Six Flags" is where Simone and her friends Kennedy & Prince uncover all of the possible red + green flags in friendships, relationships, and business.

"Mango Habanero" ft. @donpeezly & @justroach._ Jul 26, 2020

"Mango Habanero" is a random conversation-starter game that Simone made up to challenge some of her most "closeted" guy friends to open up, dive deep, get spicy, and unpack emotions -- all in the name of being raw, real, and intimate. The rules of the game are simple. Simone picks a "sweet" / thought provoking card OR Simone picks a "spicy" / XXX-rated card and each guest has to answer it truthfully. On this week's episode, her two friends Don & Roach didn't back down from the challenge.
