Girl What's Up With That?

Waaadup y'all! We’re back with another episode of 'Girl What's Up With That?'—and this week, the drama is real, the laughs are loud, and the vibes are, as always, unmatched.

During the Girl, What’s Up With You? check-in – Mercury Retrograde has us all feeling like Kavvia Wade sitting on that couch staring into space—lost, confused, and definitely not okay. Sometimes, you just have to embrace the chaos and ride it out!

Girl, What Had Happened? – What didn’t happen this week?! Bennifer called it quits (again!), and Tyrese was on the Breakfast Club shedding tears, but hey, this time it’s for good reasons. We’re also diving into the mystery of what exactly stage zero cancer means. Meanwhile, Usher’s mama’s catfish is looking gooder den a mug—we should all be so lucky to have something that delicious! And to top it all off, maybe a little sip of Sir Davis can help us make sense of all this madness.

Finally, in Girl, What’s Up With That? – We’re celebrating Eldest Daughter Day! A much-needed day of rest for all the eldest daughters out there. Why is this important? Research published in the Journal of Family Psychology shows that firstborn daughters often receive more attention and investment from parents, leading to greater expectations. Another study from the Journal of Counseling Psychology highlights that eldest daughters tend to set high standards for themselves, which can result in anxiety and a fear of failure. And if you thought that was all, a study by the University of Michigan found that 73% of eldest daughters reported regularly helping with childcare and other household duties, compared to just 59% of eldest sons. It’s high time we acknowledge all that hard work!

Waaadup y'all! Buckle up for another ride filled with laughter, real talk, and all the feels on 'Girl What's Up With That?'

During the Girl, What’s Up With You? Check-in – Schaelove is rolling her eyes at the doubters who thought Will Smith wasn’t going to smash it in the box office for Bad Boys. And tech woes? She's had enough, but hey, 4th time's the charm, right?? Meanwhile, V.A. has been living her best life outside! Birthday parties, Aces games, and rocking out to Meg Thee Stallion… keeping up with her summer fun as promised.

Girl, What Had Happened? - It's high time we rethink how The Supreme Court Justices are chosen because the new ones are saying one thing and doing another, leaving us all with whiplash! And speaking of systemic shake-ups, maybe some of y'all were onto something when you said YT folks shouldn't adopt Black children. Adopting them to be slaves? That’s... a choice. Also, how long does one need to persevere before getting an award? That’s the burning question as Jonathan Majors finds solace in the wisdom of Iyanla Vanzant (we see you, Rhonda girl). In other news, Sha’Carri Richardson is sprinting her way to the Olympics with her shoe untied. Because what can’t Black women do? YOU GO GIRL!! And that's just the tip of the 'what had happened?' iceberg.

Finally, in Girl, What’s Up With That? – We've got a special guest, Ms. Raychel (not that one, a different one), who's here to educate us on the safe side of sex. Raychel Holbert, a proud Las Vegas native and Rancho High School alumna, started her academic journey at the University of Nevada, Reno, earning her Bachelor of Science in Community Health Sciences. Afterward, she returned to her hometown, driven by a passion for public health, especially in sexual health and HIV prevention. While serving her community, she earned a Master of Public Health from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Raychel is committed to normalizing conversations about sexual health and emphasizing its importance to the public. She also showcased her leadership skills as the immediate past President of the Las Vegas Urban League Young Professionals.

Waaadup y'all! Get ready to dive back into your weekly dose of laughter, real talk, and all the feels with 'Girl What's Up With That?'

During the Girl, What’s Up With You? Check-in – Schaelove, the awesome party planner, is realizing (a lot sooner than last time) that she has a whole degree! Meanwhile, Professor Johnson is making sure the students are heading in the direction that serves them best.

Girl, What Had Happened? - Atlanta is (still) a wild place, and it's trickling into the courtroom. Are they just giving passes of the bar and MPRE to everybody? Let's hope not. In more legal news, Oklahoma is keeping up with their malarky. Unfortunately, Chrisean Rock is back in the conversation, and we both have questions for the officers and their care of children. In a positive change of events, the State Department has caught up with the digital times, and Black girls are still making history and getting degrees.

Finally, in Girl, What’s Up With That? – Continuing with our fun summer plans, we're letting you know... Dear Black Girl, it's okay to have friends that let you be soft. In a recent article, Dr. Seanna Leath explains why friendships for Black women matter.

Waaadup y'all! Sorry for the wait, but we're back and things are feeling like normal. In other words, don't make plans Wednesday night—we got stuff to do! We're getting cozy with our mid-week plans and soaking in the summer vibes. Schaelove is still enjoying her summer break before adulting kicks back in, and VA would rather be eating pickled okra but alas...

Girl, What Had Happened? Honestly, does anything other than the WNBA matter at this point? The girls are dominating all the outlets, even the non-sports ones. However, we're wondering if schools of the mayo variety need security too because assaulting a school official is risky business. VA wants Sean Kingston to just sing. That's it. Just sing—scamming ain't for everybody! Oh, and let's not forget we can't talk about the Olympian's husband. She don't like that.

Finally, in Girl, What’s Up With That? – The Netflix documentary "Dancing For the Devil" has us all wondering how so many cults are taking over. More importantly, now that we know what's going on, what are the best ways we can support the survivors?

Waaadup y'all! The break is over, school's out, and we're ready to kick off the summer with some serious vibes!

During the Girl, What’s Up With You? Check-in, Schaelove is flaunting her new degree and feeling like she knows everything, while VA is savoring new core Disneyland memories. We're both geared up and ready to dive into the start of summer!

Girl, What Had Happened? Girl, what DIDN’T happen? Hillary Clinton is finally calling out the 54% for their fake solidarity, North West performed at the Hollywood Bowl, and we're both confused because Blue Ivy was right there, no? Diddy did what we saw him did, and Raven Symoné is right—forget the statute of limitations! Once again, we're thanking a Black woman, Jasmine Crockett, whose alliterations are top-tier. With a BA in Business Admin and a JD, she knows that words, in fact, mean things.

Finally, in Girl, What’s Up With That? – School’s out! Well, we’re pretending it is. This week, we're giving you a few ideas for summer fun. Who said being an adult means you have to stop enjoying the summer season? Not us, that's for sure!

Twin, where have you been? We’re back it’s been a long two weeks of Mercury draggin us like a rag doll but baby we back!! VA had a time in Texas but Henny Fest won’t be on her calendar ever again. Meanwhile in university land Schaelove is in the final days of underground and her brain is actually mush. 

ho's watching the children? Enough is enough! Too many parents are living vicariously through their children and the therapy bills are starting to rack up.
