"LaJuanda Payton aka Mama Wanda Talks RHOA & RHOP" Dec 29, 2020

Show notes

I got to Zoom with the funny and smart @paytongirl610 LaJuanda Payton aka Mama Payton ! I told her she is like my Instagram Mama (even though I'm older.) We talk about our Atlanta Peaches and the work Porsha is doing for Black Lives Matter, LaJuanda's personal connection to Breonna Taylor's family and the Insta exchange between Kenya and Tamika Mallory.
Then we head north to Potomac and Cherry Blossoms galore! We discuss the first two parts of the reunion and our predictions for the third part and she gives Candiace some needed motherly advice!
I truly enjoyed my time with LaJuanda and she will definitely be back for more Kiki's!

This episode is a full on dose of Black Girl Magic personified! I had the ABSOLUTE pleasure of talking to Mani from @mixingwithmani, Sasha from @thebravobreakdown and Stephanie from @mochaminutes and basking in all of their Melanin Magic! We talk RHOP Cherry Blossoms, RHOA Peaches, Black Lives Matter and everything in between!
There is something like magic that happens when you get to talk to women who share your experiences, who you can learn from and who inspire you to be better...and these three women do all of that and more for me!

"Evelyn Marley aka Evie Eve: Plot Twist!" Dec 26, 2020

Show notes

Send us a text

I had the absolute PLEASURE to chat with my girl Evelyn Marley AKA Evie Eve, host of the Twisted Plot podcast, @twistedplot on Instagram and the Residential Confidential podcast, @resconpodcast on Instagram. We start out talking about her Twisted Plot podcast and the amazing mental health advice she gives while talking pop culture and the Residential Confidential podcast where she gives us a peek into neighborhoods and their drama and we laugh at the way ethnic families will make up names for others in their family, just because (Evie Eve's name rings true for her.)
Speaking of fitting names, we go right into why her names fit her, one being Goddess of war and Evelyn opens up about the interview on her podcast that seemingly launched her into Reddit headlines and what felt like a war for her mental health and the fight to move her ego aside so that she could actually grasp the lessons life was trying to teach her. We also talk about the pandemic, witnessing the murder of George Floyd and how that impacted her in her life journey, including her podcast and how she has learned to remain true to her voice. And Evelyn shares the book that she read that helped her make agreements with herself in her journey to mental health wholeness.
This interview with Evelyn will have you looking inward and deciding to not allow anyone to twist or rewrite your journey to being your best self!

"THE Amazing...Kate Casey!" Dec 24, 2020

There aren't words to describe my conversation with THE amazing @katecaseyca from the Reality Life with Kate Casey podcast! From the moment she appeared on my Zoom screen, I felt a connection with her that made me feel like we had known each other forever (spoiler...I think we have!) And we jump RIGHT into the fact that we are birthday twins (we were certainly separated at birth), her photographic memory (her and Bill Clinton share that) and how it ties into 9/11, her home life which led to her time at the Milton Hershey School and the incident that took place during her time there that really shook her, but she was able to eventually get peace about.
Then we come back to the present and get into the current state of the world and talk Black Lives Matter, white privilege, the real conversations that need to be had and what she has done to make sure that her children don't have a myopic mindset but instead lead with empathy, compassion and kindness, just like Kate!

"Shira Weiss: A Real Housewives Whisperer" Dec 23, 2020

Show notes

Send us a text

I'm so excited to welcome Shira Weiss into my kitchen via Zoom for an awesome chat! I've listened to Shira for years as guests on other podcasts, have read her writing in the Huffington Post and now I get to read her work on Ariana Huffington's Thrive Global. She most recently addressed the issue of colorism on Medium.com. Not to mention, Shira is the ULTIMATE housewives and Bravo-leb whisperer which gateways us right into RHOSLC's Jen Shah and the interview that Shira had with her a day before we recorded this episode, the bravoleb that was upset with her because she called out his behavior towards his cast mate, dealing with publicists who can ghost you and becoming friends with a Bravo-leb currently on tv versus a Bravo-leb that is no longer on our screens. And we touch on her feelings about Twitter, why she is not on it any longer and how a housewife and her team had a hand in it. And SO much more!
Shira may known for her writing, but she can read like a housewife!
Make sure check Shira out on Patreon where discuss more of the Jen Shah interview and the buildup of her fight with Mary that wasn't on screen and more on a certain Garden State housewife and the reason she and her team turned on Shira and involved her family.

"Elana & Dina: The Chicest Styled Sisters:" Dec 22, 2020

Show notes

Send us a text

This conversation is with two of the most stylish sisters I know! They Zoom onto my screen full of fashion, fun and conversations about our Champagne holding Cherry Blossoms, which leads us right into Potomac and the fight that has been talked about more than any heavyweight championship fight that Money Mayweather was ever a part of! We talk about the fact that all housewife franchises have drama off camera but this franchise seems to have the most off camera happenings with on camera reactions, the ghost of Ashley past and the way she drops bombs and walks off and the now infamous butterknife, which she also contributed to.
Then we touch on Bad Girls Club and Housewives (they are NOT the same) and whether Candiace knew it would go to that level. And we get down into the nitty gritty of the fight. We talk Karen's reaction to Monique, the regimented perfection that Monique perceived as coming undone and how Candiace was on the receiving end of her anger, the fact that BOTH of these women are deserving of the same Grace, the lyrics of the song Drag Queen and the conversation had in the aftermath of the fight and how the weight of the perception of black women in the world should not be put on Monique because she doesn't deserve that.
We eventually head south, straight into the land of Georgia Peaches while talking about learning to appreciate the housewives for what they contribute to their franchises and our tv's (hi Kenya Moore.)
And I get to ask these Stylish Sisters about the wardrobe of some of our housewives.
Fashion seasons may change, but Elana & Dina will always be in style to me!

"JASMINE HENRY: RHOP, Vice, Odor Gland Removal" Dec 21, 2020

Show notes

Send us a text

I had the absolute pleasure of talking to my Twitter friend Jasmine Henry! Jasmine is a smart, funny, critical thinking woman who took me on a house tour while we were podcasting...and I would do it all over again! We start out talking about Jasmine's early years and her background, her first experience with racism and how she went from psychology to bartending. Then we head straight to Maryland where we talk RHOP, that Vice article again (a real deep dive was done), her mothers odor gland removal surgery and everything under the sun!
Jasmine not only knows how to mix a great cocktail, but she know all the ingredients for a great conversation! And I will definitely have this mix again!

"On PeriodT! THE Brooke Ashley aka...The Doll!" Dec 20, 2020

Show notes

Send us a text

I am so excited to have THE Brooke Ashley aka The Doll! I "met" Brooke through her You Tube Channel and became a fan! We start this episode getting into her background and how she started her page (her friends don't play...about her future), how her twitter account @thebrookeash played into it and the video that brought all the stans to her You Tube yard. Then we get into Potomac, the all star team! Brooke explains how Monique went from being her starting player to being traded, Candiace becoming first string, Gizelle remaining in the locker room and Karen and all her shenanigans. Next, we get into colorism. We talk about Ashley and her unwillingness to acknowledge it, Gizelle and her accusations towards Karen that could hurt Wendy and the viewing audience who also doesn't want to acknowledge the colorism, but instead would rather call it jealousy.
And finally we get into the binder that has opened a portal to Monique's life that she probably isn't prepared for. We talk the accusations about Jamal and if they were past vs. present, the attack on Gizelle by way of Jamal, whether Monique actually drew first blood using Kendall as the needle, who the woman is rumored to be in the "alleged" Safeway attack and if Jamal should have responded (he had every right.) And somehow we get on self control which leads us to a quick stop in Beverly Hills and Lisa Rinna!
This was Brooke and I's first Zoom sesh but it DEFINITELY won't be our last!

"Brands by Bravo & A Binder: ft. Danielle" Dec 15, 2020

Show notes

Send us a text

This week my friend Danielle aka @brandsbybravo on Instagram is back and we discuss the Real Housewives of Potomac reunion! But first we plan our post-covid date. The infamous Four Seasons is our FIRST stop and then I'm taking Danielle to try on her first wig! After we manifest our outing, we get into the ladies of Potomac and we just download all of our thoughts! We talk about Ashley and Candiace (Coffee and Love IS trash), whether Candiace's reactions to people coming for her need to be tampered down, Gizelle and her credibility are shot with me (you didn't add spice Gizelle-you lied!) and Robyn checking Ashley (Ashley gets amnesia about her own behavior!) Then we get into the meat i.e. the binder! it was A LOT! After Potomac, we dip into the bachelorette and what we think of this season and the guys and Danielle tells me what throwback season of the Bachelor/Bachelorette to watch!
Make sure to check out Danielle's Etsy Shop: brandsbybravo
This was such a fun episode to do and as always, Danielle will ALWAYS be my Brand!

"Kara Berry: Everyone's Business But Mine" Dec 11, 2020

Show notes

Send us a text

I am excited to talk to @karabgrams from the Instagram account @everyonesbusinessbutmine and host of the Everyone's Business But Mine podcast! Kara is hilarious, quick, has the BEST voice and her takes are dead on! We start out talking Southern Charm and RHOA and how the burden of educating falls on the People of Color to have all of these heavy conversations (particularly Southern Charm when they have other cast mates to call things out) and we wonder if franchises WITHOUT People of Color will have any real conversations. Then we continue on with the Peaches and talk episode one of RHOA! First, we touched on Kenya Moore on the Wendy Williams show (she said Tanya & Porsha brought the WAP), Marlo and the side we don't often see, Porsha and Kenya's continuing drama and the Instagram like that may have caused it. And we wonder, "Is Porsha the new HBIC??" Andy seems to think so.
Then we jump head first into RHOP! We talked Gizelle's confessional after Jamal missed the pictures (I felt that deeply), Monique's therapy session and how we identify, Ashley and why people forget just how messy she truly is and wonder if she is in it for Michale's reported net worth (I had no idea) and Candiace and Ms. Dorothy (Candiace seems to now have Dorothy's attention).
Finally, we get into Juan and Robyn and there are questions (the streets say Juan has an entire other relationship), Michael's fascination with Juan (stranger danger) and his reaction to Juan and Robyn's engagement, Ashley and her plays to the camera and the finale fireworks that had us cheering Chris Bassett and watching Michael's display of sickening amounts of privilege!
Kara is so awesome and I enjoyed talking about everyone else's business...and not mine!
