    Season 2, Episode 13: Auntie and Cami Árboles!

    Hey bbs! For our latest interview this season, Auntie sits down in her proverbial living room with the spellbinding pole artist and creative, Cami Árboles. Many know Árboles from her viral pole video of the then-Yale graduate spinning in her cap and gown to celebrate earning her degree in Performance from the Ivy League university. The watershed moment broke open a conversation on the presence of pole’s place in such lofty institutions and also marked a huge transition in Árboles’s career. The shapeshifting goddess would go on to famously teach SZA how to work the pole, collaborate with FKA twigs, open her own movement studio, and tour the world teaching others the power of pole. With an unerring optimism and infectious energy, Árboles discusses the challenges and joys of dancing in heels, the importance of embracing pain and growth, and how the body serves as a canvas for art. You won’t want to miss this must-hear ki!

    Season 2, Episode 12: Auntie on Kendrick Lamar’s Jeans, “Summer House” Drama, Career Advice, and More!

    Hey bbs! On this solo epi, host Marjon Carlos breaks down one of the biggest stories of the week: the cultural and sartorial significance of Kendrick Lamar’s flare jeans. Putting her fashion editor roots to work, Auntie reveals the science behind proportions and why this denim trend is here to stay. She also delves into the cultural phenomenon that is “the American Lady in Pakistan” and why this story is actually a testament to how humanity is not lost despite what global politics may look like these days. The return of “Summer House” and all the drama that has ensued captivated Auntie this week, as she digs into Paige and Craig's split, the Ciara and West standoff, and Lindsay’s pregnancy reveal. And as always, Marjon delivers her signature advice for the ASK AUNTIE ANYTHING segment, passing along the career advice she got from Toni Morrison that she’s never forgotten… Credits: Host: Marjon Carlos @marjon_carlos Producer: Mbiye Kasonga @mbiye_k Editing: We The Cool @wethecoolstudio Music: Preston Morris Neukirch @pres.morris Social: Diana Caro @carobydiana Follow Us On Social!

    Hey bbs! For our latest interview this season, Auntie sits down in the YFA proverbial living room with the trend-setting influencer and "Style Unlocked" host, Jenee Naylor. A renaissance woman who has built a fashion media empire with her “high/low” approach to luxury fashion opens up about her beginnings in fashion, her earliest muses, the highs and lows (no pun intended) of working within the industry as a Black woman, and her thoughts on where she sees the industry going, post AI.

    Season 2, Episode 10: Auntie on The Grammys, “Babygirl,” the RHONY Reunion, and More!

    Hey bbs! To kick off Black History Month, host Marjon Carlos is discussing the inspiring and uplifting moments of the Grammys–from Beyoncé’s win, Doechi’s dominance, and the revenge Kendrick Lamar exacted upon his haters. It was exactly the type of joy we needed to get through these unprecedented times, but it still brought up discussions around resilience, authenticity, and the boxes culture insists putting on Black creatives. As the Academy Awards race heats up, Auntie digs into the controversy surrounding Emilia Perez’s star Carla Sofia Gascon’s racist tweets and why Babygirl didn’t get her off! Auntie also doles out last notes on RHONY’s season reunion and, in her Ask Auntie Anything segment, provides advice to would-be mothers who are worried about giving up their identities as they become a parent.  Credits: Host: Marjon Carlos @marjon_carlos Producer: Mbiye Kasonga @mbiye_k Editing: We The Cool @wethecoolstudio Music: Preston Morris Neukirch @pres.morris Social: Diana Caro @carobydiana Follow Us On Social!

    Season 2, Episode 9: Auntie and Diotima's Rachel Scott!

    Hey bbs! This week host Marjon Carlos welcomes Diotima fashion designer Rachel Scott into her proverbial living room for a rich, inspiring, and hilarious ki about Scott’s incredible journey in the fashion industry. This past fall, Scott bested multi-million dollar fashion giants to become the first Black woman to ever win the CFDA Womenswear Designer of the Year award–a testimony to how the Jamaican-born fashion world vet is decentering the European luxury narrative in her work with her innovative focus on handmade craftsmanship and crochet. With her signature authenticity, Scott reveals the challenges and triumphs of being an independent designer, the importance of representation, the evolving landscape of American fashion, and how Diotima remains rooted in her Jamaican culture.  Credits: Host: Marjon Carlos @marjon_carlos Producer: Mbiye Kasonga @mbiye_k Editing: We The Cool @wethecoolstudio Music: Preston Morris Neukirch @pres.morris Social: Diana Caro @carobydiana Follow Us On Social!

    Season 2, Episode 8: Auntie on Fashion Week Drama, “Wags to Riches”, and the Legacy of Carrie Bradshaw

    Hey bbs! We survived January and lived to tell the tale… Thank God, because there are some major pop cultural phenomena worth discussing: from Zoë Kravitz and Steve Lacy possibly hard launching their relationship at Saint Laurent, the recent Jacquemus show getting dragged online, the new show “Wags to Riches” and ofc the RHONY and RHOSLC reunions. Host Marjon Carlos unpacks it all, dovetailing into a topic she’s been dying to discuss for a minute now: the Carrie Bradshaw hate train. It’s gotta’ stop and Gen Z needs to put some respect on our favorite sex columnist’s name. Auntie also gets personal and lets you in on her new real estate move and her thoughts on the anti-DEI legislation that came down from D.C. last week.

    JAN 30

    Season 2, Episode 7: Auntie and Gia Kuan!

    Hey bbs! On this week’s episode, Auntie sits down in her proverbial living room with one of fashion’s most powerful women, publicist Gia Kuan. The gatekeeper and founder of Gia Kuan Consulting shares her journey from nightlife promoter in Melbourne to a leading figure in New York's fashion PR scene. Anyone who has ever attended one of Kuan’s parties or fashion shows knows her functions are some of the most sought-after invites and can literally cause sheer pandemonium. Remember Beyoncé at Luar?! But much more lies at the core of Kuan’s business beyond creating frenzy at the door. In this engaging conversation, Auntie and Gia discuss the intricacies of starting a career in PR, the importance of team dynamics, and the challenges of maintaining quality control while inviting disruption. Crashers are encouraged!

    Season 2, Episode 6: America Has A Problem

    Hey bbs! Like most Americans with a pulse, host Marjon Carlos has been shifting between complete despair and an odd sense of optimism this past week as she attempts to mitigate these increasingly dark times. In her signature fashion, Auntie dives head-first into the complexities of navigating one’s emotions in a turbulent world and the importance of pursuing dreams amidst growing political chaos. Housewives drama has proven to be a good source of distraction during these bleak times, and Auntie gives you her signature deep dive into the RHONY season finale fiasco (what was that?!) and the RHOSLC season reunion hijinx. She also unpacks the Vanity Fair Megan Markle/Prince Harry cover story, the Oscar noms, the unique challenges Black women face in modern dating, and the lasting effects of bad bosses (we’ve all had them!). Tap in, and remember to hold the line!  Credits: Host: Marjon Carlos @marjon_carlos Producer: Mbiye Kasonga @mbiye_k Editing: We The Cool @wethecoolstudio Music: Preston Morris Neukirch @pres.morris Social: Diana Caro @carobydiana Follow Us On Social!
