Adult-Ish

Family: a group of persons connected by blood, marriage, or other. This may be one definition of family, but what does it mean to you?

In this episode of "Adult-ish" presents "Fifi After Dark," our solo host recounts an amazing tale of one man's journey to find the truth about his father and ultimately finding a family he never had. You'll want to listen to this story as it includes our favorite host and is the thing made of Hulu documentaries!

Aside from an amazing tale of a man finding his family, our fave host takes a moment to evaluate what family means to her and comes to her own revelations about the family she was born into while opening her mind to creating the family she belongs to.

Take a listen to this episode — we're sure you won't want to miss it!

One thing we never expected we needed as adults: self-care and self-awareness!

It seems like no matter where you go — especially in the current times we're living in — there's an emphasis on taking take to reconnect, but how does one do that?

Well, in this 'Adult-ish' chat, co-host Vincent Bernard takes the lead by walking host Afiya through his use of meditation to center him when the world seems to shift him off balance.

As for Afiya, she taps into how she views her time in therapy as an investment in her health but speaks on the importance of self-care as more than just the mind, but the body & spirit.

Tune in as the duo give their own thoughts on reconnecting with the self and talk through how they want to become better aligned with their persons.

As promised, here's yet another 2021 episode that missed its call time, but it's quite the doozy.

In this episode of 'Adult-ish' presents 'Fifi After Dark,' our favorite host is lit like Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer as she drinks her fury and fever away as she works her way through her Corona-filled Christmas.

Yes, our girl was hit by the Millennium Tour in time for the holidays and suffered with Omnicron during one of the most festive times of the year.

While the 'Adult-ish' star is of the lucky few who did not succumb to the contagious virus' severe symptoms, she details how the meddlesome germs ruined her planned holiday and had her feeling all kinds of miserable — physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Tune in, y'all, and her her talk it out. And don't worry, we've since sanitized all of the equipment.

It's been a long time since we left you, without a dope show to listen to — but we're back!

Though we're not entirely back up, we are back with some 2021 episodes that never made it to air until now, while we prepare for the fresh, new 2022 content dropping soon.

In this episode of "Adult-ish," host Afiya is joined by the lovely Vincent Bernard, who quickly gives a chat on generational divides before diving into two shows that were hitting the feels: "Insecure" and "Love Life."

Listen on as the pair dig deep into how the shows in question are able to provide vulnerable, teachable moments that aren't so often shown on TV or even among the folks they know in real life.

It all intersects, so go ahead and get into it... it feels just like home!

We owed you all an episode, didn't we? Well, here it is!

We're back with the not-so-NEW episode we promised you of 'Adult-ish' featuring our fave co-host, Vincent Bernard, for a conversation around shredding & processing growth as an adult.

While chatting about his academic plans in August (yeesh, we're behind), Vince takes a deeper dive into where he is in his life, his insecurities, and embracing the idea of "shedding."

Much like abandoned crab shells, we humans go through periods of shedding and the duo speak to what the universe has been speaking to them in the Summer of 2021.

While hitting a bowl and allowing their minds to flow, the duo mull over their desire to grow professionally and how they never really understood how important THIS aspect of life can be to adulting.

And the gang is back (sort of) for this pre-recorded episode of 'Adult-ish'!

While not so timely, the episode talks to something that is all too relevant these days: cancel culture.

Joined by co-host Vincent Bernard, the pair take on the latest person (at that time) to be hit with the cancel culture wave -- Da Baby.

After making some disparaging comments during a concert, the rapper came under fire by many, including members and allies of the LGBTQIA community. Was it warranted? Was the apology sincere? Will he remained cancel?

Though we already know the answer to several of those questions, listen on as the duo take on cancel culture and discuss whether or not a person every really remains "canceled."

Expect a MUCH-NEEDED follow-up and update to this episode coming super soon, but until then, take a listen and hit them up on the socials below:

A recent Instagram post by multi-hyphenate Amanda Seales triggered the topic for this NEW episode of "Adult-ish": the difference between "nice" and "kind" and host Afiya takes time to evaluate this concept among the adage, "nice guys finish last."

In tapping into the overall difference between being a "nice" guy and a "kind" human being, Afiya takes a step further to discuss, how true this cliché is.

Are nice guys really finishing last... or is it something much deeper than what's on the surface?

With booze in her system from the night before and the morning of, the podcaster rips into the "nice men" who call themselves nice, while really being a fuckboy in a kind man's clothing.

Yup, she went there and chose violence.

Listen on as she breaks down the nuances of being nice, kind, and a man assuming that being nice should grant him access to panties that don't want quiver for his grubby paws.

Check it out, y'all!

And we're back... sort of!

In this long-awaited (and slightly outdated) episode of "Adult-ish", host Afiya takes the wheel for a FAD (Fifi After Dark) apologizing for the impromptu hiatus brought on burgeoning work schedules, tech malfunctions, and people just being busy ass adults.

Thankfully, Afiya was able to have some kind of conversation about herself regarding travel weary queries and all the bugs and kinks that keep most folk (like herself) from venturing out into the unknown... as she slurps her liquor-filled libations.

Listen on as she details some of the tips, tricks, lessons, and first-time activities she was able to learn and complete on a trip that could've absolutely gone left, but somehow turned out somewhat alright.

It's time to come on back, y'all!
