Adult-Ish

Do you ever feel a way when you re-watch one of your favorite films as an adult?

While we know 'Adult-ish' host Afiya loves to tear into Disney films with her adult lenses, it's Mr. Vincent Bernard who has something to say about one of his favorite features.

In this fun episode of 'Adult-ish,' the pair take on several films from their past including 'To Wong Foo: Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar,' and how the film reduced sexual assault to comedic plot as well as their personal favorite, 'Bram Stoker's Dracula.'

The two really take a deeper dive into moments of the film that spoke to assault, rape, and sexuality on levels that weren't really there yet as younger folks. While we laughed and loved as children, as adults, the twosome sit back and take a harder look at these themes and how they expressed themselves.

And yes, the two were slightly inebriated. But that makes the convo all the more fun!

All is fair in love and war, right? So why do girl/guy codes seem to make or break a potential relationship?

In this episode of 'Adult-ish,' host Afiya uses the time for a little Fifi After Dark to discuss her own unconventional -- and possibly controversial -- thoughts on the ever-popular "girl code" as it related to 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' reality star, Porsha Williams.

The peach-holding hottie has been put in some hot water after announcing her new engagement to boyfriend Simon after a month of dating for those not in the know. The shocker? Simon is recently divorced from Porsha's "friend" Fallon.

While new details regarding the relationships between all parties involved come to light, many are throwing Porsha under the bus for violating the "girl code," but is she wrong? Should one deny themselves a potential love because of a past relationship that included a "friend"?

Of course, we can have a conversation on what it really means to be a "friend," but for right now, the slightly inebriated host is digging into why she thinks these codes are all a ploy for folks with strong emotions versus anything else.

Take a listen -- and share your own opinions. We dare ya!

What happens when the child in the family grows up and wants to be viewed as an adult around the other adults in their lives?

After a month-long impromptu hiatus, Adult-ish is BACK, and on this episode, we're diving head-first into a Fifi After Dark talking about... well, being an adult!

For this FAD, our slightly tipsy host speaks about her recent travels to older/elder relatives and talks to her experience of being seen (or not) as an adult... as an adult.

While some folks have an easier time of the transition from kid to adult in their families, the Brooklyn-based podcaster speaks to her time making the jump in a traditional, Caribbean family, where years of routine respect, obedience, and even language can dominate one's perspective on another.

Take a listen and hear what's she's got to say!

Parents... it's hard to raise them, am I right?

In this episode of 'Adult-ish,' host Afiya comes through with a new Fifi After Dark to continue the conversation on raising parents.

Digging into her own personal experiences, the quirky hostess divulges her thoughts on children taking care of their parents in their older years; the stresses of trying to be in control and take care of individuals who do not know how to give up authority.

In talking about her trials and tribulations, she also speaks to the concept of younger children being obligated to take care of their parents in their old age and all the feels that come along with that.

Take a listen — it's sure to get you thinking about your own looming future.

It's one thing to have to learn how to adult, it's another when you have to take care of one, too.

In this episode of "Adult-ish," host Afiya is joined by co-host Vincent Bernard to pose a big question a lot of older millennials like themselves are facing these days: how can I make the most of my life while taking care of my aging parent?

Not all folks are often met with the responsibility of taking care of their older parent, but for the twosome, the looming thought is slowly becoming a reality and the duo sit and hash out what it means to... well, parent a parent.

Listen on as they speak to their current experiences with the topic, give their thoughts on what can help the situation, and speak to the idea of a child who does not want to take care of their parent's in their twilight years — and why it's OK to feel that way.

Take a listen!

It's been a while, but we're back — with a new episode of "Fifi After Dark" for this week's episode of "Adult-ish."

In this episode, our CBD-infused hostess speaks to her recent issues with her health and how it's put a spotlight on the overall concept of wellness.

While opening up about her current illness, Afiya talks very candidly about how we often neglect signs when our bodies are telling us something is wrong and how pushing ourselves and not taking care of our health can cause more harm than we bargained for.

Listen on to her own cautionary tale, and be sure to let her know how YOU have been taking stock of what's going on with your body and wellness.

It's time to celebrate, 'Adult-ish' fans and stans — our very own Vincent Bernard is striking it out on his own and we're taking in the full moment.

Our favorite co-host's recent move to his own pad is the subject of today's episode and with host Afiya A., the pair discuss the differences between living on your own, living with your family, living on your own with others, and the importance of how a mindset can make a home.

Drawing from their own personal experiences with others, the two dish on how much personal space matters to a person's growth as well as their feelings on what makes a person's place feel like an "adult" lives there.

Drinking — it's something we love to do, and at times a hallmark, nay, a right of passage for adulthood. So, why does it seem like a lot of us are doing wrong? Well, because we are.

In this episode of "Adult-ish," host Afiya A. sits down with Kayla Mensah, a sommelier, to discuss the science behind drinking wine, finding the stuff you like, and some of the stereotypes that have come with drinking liquor.

The duo go down a rabbit hole talking about drinks that were once outlawed for certain groups (looking at you, Coke!), and how the beverage industry is playing favorites to get sales out of us.

Oh yeah — even drinks are racialized.

Tune in for a pretty interesting conversation.
