“No matter what color you are, stay Black.” That’s how Robin Thede (@RobinThede) ends her new weekly late show, The Rundown with Robin Thede. She’s one of the few Black women in the late night comedy and given today’s political fuckery, Robin’s voice is right on time. With Charli and Cori, Thede breaks down the good, bad, and ugly about being a Black woman in comedy, how to tell if Oprah actually likes you and the art of being funny and real. (For the culture.)

Sisters, how y’all feel? Twenty years ago, Erykah Badu (@fatbellybella) had an epic year: she released Baduizm and Baduizm Live -- which gave us all the ultimate f*&kboy anthem, “Call Tyrone” -- and gave birth to her son, Seven. Badu remembers those moments, plus sings us a hint of what’s coming when she hosts the 30th anniversary of the Soul Train Awards and why she can go from 0 to 100 real quick. Bonus: Badu gives Charli a step-by-step guide on where she can find stillness.

Can you believe its been 30 years since Spike Lee (@SpikeLee) released his first Spike Lee Joint, She's Gotta Have It?! Now the classic has been reimagined as a Netflix series (@shesgottahaveit) starring fresh face DeWanda Wise (@dewandawise) as the one and only Nola Darling. We got all of the tea about her hot new role, how the series differs from the original and her marriage to Underground’s Alano Miller. (Psst, Alano, we're totally crushin' on DeWanda too.)

Comedian and actress Amanda Seales (@amandaseales) loves clapping back (Google her explain White privilege to Caitlyn Jenner.) She even publicly disagreed when ESSENCE reported on her series of Tweets about why more folks need a passport over Jordans. But since we've been fans of Amanda long before Insecure, we all said “Let’s talk about it!” because real sisterhood means discussing your differences. Plus, Amanda dishes on her brilliant "Smart, Funny & Black" traveling comedy show and what happens when you say yes to a rising star in Hollywood.

Just when we thought we knew everything about Gabrielle Union (@itsgabrielleu) — she’s had nine ESSENCE covers — we fell more in love after reading her new memoir, "We’re Going to Need More Wine." Gabby joins us for a live audience recording where she pulls back the curtain on her life. She’s unapologetic about social media shaming of sexual assault victims, why she’s still healing from her own rape and that it’s okay hubby Dwyane Wade reads her book (but not her dad).
