Damona also covers headlines such as How 50 Cent and his girlfriend might just be relationship goals, a dangerous social media campaign that is sweeping North Africa, and how to make your relationship stronger right now. Plus Damona and Allana answer listener questions: Is it true love or just BoreRona and how to deal with abandonment issues?
