    Ruth E. Carter Teaches Us How To Dress Like Royalty

    Two months into 2021, and we're still at home, but we know we're not the only ones. At least we have streaming, food delivery, and podcasts (wink, wink) to keep us company. Speaking of streaming...lately, our Friday nights have been spent watching 90's and early 00's re-runs. That's why we're beyond excited for the return of Coming to America (available on Amazon Prime March 5th). It's the best of both worlds - old-school nostalgia and new content for the weekend. To get us in a regal state of mind, Academy Award-Winning Costume Designer, Ruth E. Carter, stopped by (virtually of course), to give Cori and Charli some tips, and share anecdotes about her 30-plus year career, styling some of our favorite celebrities for the most iconic movies. NOTE: This episode is sponsored by Crown Royal So, what's your favorite moment from the original Coming to America? Let us know, and be sure to use #yesgirlpodcast.

    Tessa Thompson and Aja Naomi King Spread Love (and Style) The Christmas Way

    Bellas, we're back...well for a quick moment. It's been a while since we got together and we've missed you. Although 2020 has been a roller coaster of highs and lows, we had to end the year, and our podcast season, with some love. Actresses Tessa Thompson and Aja Naomi King (virtually) stopped by to reminisce on vintage Black excellence and share about their upcoming movie, Sylvie's Love (available on Amazon Prime December 23rd). Plus Cori and Charli say "see ya' 2020" and share their final quarantine thoughts for the year. Wanna share your goodbye message to 2020? Be sure to use #yesgirlpodcast.
