"Empire State of Mind" ft. Eboni K. Williams Aug 13, 2021

Show notes

This week I had the pleasure of talking to Eboni K. Williams @ebonikwilliams We start out talking about the origination of the phrase black girl magic, the un-comfortability people have watching blackness being placed front and center on RHONY and the comparison of black women in these housewives spaces (please stop it; we are not a monolith, remember?) We also touch down on this season of RHONY, her 2016 ballot write in, her Fox News career choice and the why behind that choice and the Tomi Lauren retweet. And we talk about her lighter hue privilege and why her and I will not be breaking bread at TGI Fridays (those wings are so good though) and so much more!
Talking to my good sis Eboni felt good and right! And I enjoyed and absorbed every moment of it!

I had the pleasure of having Selle from The Who Asked Me podcast @whoaskedme on this week and we had such a great time talking all things housewives and then some! There were moments we got so excited, that our energy might have effected our WiFi! We talk about the RHOBH girls, the RHONY girls and of course our Real Housewives Of Potomac Black Girl Magic housewives! And in between all of that, we talk about navigating this world and watching reality TV as black women.
This was Selle’s first time as a guest on the podcast, but I can PROMISE you, this will not be her last! Make sure you go download, subscribe and rate and review The Who Asked Me podcast!

In this episode I had the hands-down absolute pleasure of talking to Raven a.k.a. @mainlybravo and Sasha a.k.a. @thebravobreakdown. And we had an amazing time! We talk about RHONY, RHOBH and RHOP with our real lived black girl experiences mixed in between. And I get in the hot seat…Trying to reconcile how I was raised versus what I believe (can we say OVER explainer?? I had too many words and somehow, not enough.😂) However, that conversation and every other one we had on this podcast episode has definitely given me food for thought, and I know it will do the same for you! Raven and Sasha are TRULY my Black Girl Magic!

This week I got to talk to my girl, my sis, Raven aka @mainlybravo host of @bitchisbetterpodcast, and our spirits agree.

We talked RHONY and its resident clown, Bershan and that dinner and the ladies reactions. And Ramona's...sensitivities. Then we get nude...with the Potomac girls! We talk about Gizzy and Mal', Wendy aka "Body ody ody" and that dinner! Our boxes may be cool but this conversation is hot!

"You Better Believe We're Commenting" ft. Emma & Isabel Jul 09, 2021

Show notes

Send us a text

In this episode, I had the absolute pleasure of talking to Emma Diamond and Isabel Greenberg from the famed IG accounts @commentsbycelebs, @commentsbybravo and the Comments by Celebs podcast. And we commented on it all! We start out talking about the Kelly Dodd cameo-esque apology to the Dubrows, Kathy Hilton's text to Bethenny Frankel and her response, the recent ruling against Erika Jayne and if she is still a Fenty ambassador.
Then we get into our girls; these Housewives. We talk about this season of RHONY, the addition of Eboni and Bershawn and the town of Salem as the backdrop to the conversation we are seeing. Then we head west (I think) to Beverly Hills. We talk about the season as a whole and then we get into this week's episode and misdirected anger. And we end the episode describing our perfect night out and which housewives are coming with us.
Emma and Isabel are amazing and I can't wait to chat with them again (whether in NYC with Sonja or over Zoom from my kitchen in Maryland.) As always, shout out to my amazing podcast producer @cbreezzzey

"Housewives, The Black Lens & More" ft. Jonathan Chandler Jul 06, 2021

Show notes

This episode was so fulfilling and food for my Black Girl Soul! I had the absolute pleasure of speaking to Jonathan Chandler @jonathanchandler_ writer and host of The Bitchapedia Podcast. We jump right into RHOBH (Kyle is the real sniper from the side) and we talk how being nice and awkward doesn’t mean you aren’t racist, bigoted, discriminatory or guilty of stereotyping, take a quick detour on being raised by black parents (we don’t know quite how we got there, but it was good) and then we get back on the RHOBH course and Lisa Rinna. Next, we talk RHONY (the Vulture recap, Eboni's response, the response to Eboni and the night in Harlem,) our response to the season as black viewers and our dichotomy of feelings.
This episode was fun, reminiscent and full of thoughtful discourse (and slightly noisy at times. I knocked some things off my desk and at one point you hear an alarm-not mine or Jonathans. 😂)
As always, shout out to my #podcastproducer @cbreezzzey 💋😘😍
