There’s only one person who can save 2020, the Queen of Christmas herself, Ms. Mariah Carey. In the Season 1 finale of Diva Dailies and to help wrap up our Christmas extravaganza, Steffi is joined once again by Diego to break down “Mariah Carey’s Magical Christmas Special” (2020) featuring our diva of the week Ms. Mariah Carey.

You know Christmas? Was made for the children. Destiny’s children. This week, Steffi is joined by Justin for an in-depth discussion on Destiny’s Child’s, “8 Days of Christmas” (2001). We also discuss our personal theories as to why Beyonce was the one with producer credit on almost every single song, while Kelly and Michelle were MIA. And of course, our thoughts on Mathew Knowles.

Asians, let’s inhale and exhale. Time for a heart-to-heart talk on some deep underlying issues within our community.

Ya know...2020 has been quite a year. And considering that November is also the time we indulge in a little comfort food for the holiday season, I thought it’d be appropriate to do a month’s worth of COMFORT DIVA MOVIES.

We talk about our favorite scenes, why this story of friendship has continued to endure after all these years, & this week’s comfort divas: Mira Sorvino & Lisa Kudrow.
