When most people hear the word intimacy, the mind immediately jumps to sex, but intimacy is so much more layered than what happens in the bedroom. In this episode of PGC After Dark, we're slowing things down and peeling back those layers to talk about the intimacy that often gets overlooked: the quiet, vulnerable, soul-deep moments that truly connect us to another person.From emotional intimacy that comes with feeling seen and understood, to intellectual intimacy found in late-night conversations and shared curiosity, to spiritual intimacy rooted in prayer, rituals, or aligned beliefs..... we're exploring all the ways closeness can show up in our lives. We'll also talk about creative intimacy, everyday gestures that strengthen bonds, and how our upbringing and unhealed wounds can block us from fully leaning into those experiences.This isn't just about relationships, it's about friendships, community, and the way we show up with people we love. It's about breaking free from the idea that intimacy has to be physical and learning how to nurture connections that feed us on every level.So grab your glass, dim the lights, and join us for a conversation that's deeper, softer, and more vulnerable than the usual After Dark talk. It's about intimacy, but in ways that might surprise you.We're bringing the vibes, the bold convos, and the late-night realness—so don't be shy, come kick it with us!We wanna hear ALL your thoughts, wild takes, and juicy questions!

Breakups are never easy, but what happens after the dust settles? Can you really be friends with an ex, or is that just a recipe for disaster? And while we're at it—how much of how we show up in love is shaped by the way we were raised?In this episode of The Phat Girl Chronicles, we're digging deep into the messy, funny, and sometimes healing territory of exes, friendship, and the patterns we carry from childhood into adulthood. From "we can still kick it" to "don't even text me," we'll talk about where we draw the line—and why.Because let's be real: relationships don't end in isolation. They're shaped by our past, our upbringing, and the lessons (and unhealed wounds) we carry into them.Pull up a seat, pour your favorite drink, and let's unpack the truth about breakups, boundaries, and breaking generational cycles.We love bringing the laughs, the healing, and the hard conversations—but we wanna hear from YOU too!

This week on The Phat Girl Chronicles, we're tackling a question that's been stirring up conversations online and offline: Where are the Black married men?We're not just talking about numbers or statistics...... we're digging into the heart of relationships, leadership, partnership, and what it truly means to show up in love. Too often we see the narrative of men wanting the position of leadership in relationships and marriage without actually doing the work to lead with integrity, responsibility, and love.This episode isn't about tearing anyone down...... it's about getting real about expectations, accountability, and the standards we set for each other in our community.We're asking the questions that matter: • Are men desiring marriage, or just the status that comes with being "husband"? • What does healthy leadership in a relationship actually look like? • Why do some men equate leadership with control instead of partnership? • And most importantly, what are we teaching the next generation about marriage, family, and partnership?This conversation gets raw, real, and maybe a little uncomfortable, but it's necessary. We're talking about shifting the blueprint, holding each other accountable, and building the kind of marriages and partnerships that reflect not only love but legacy.We love bringing the laughs, the healing, and the hard conversations—but we wanna hear from YOU too!

The Aunties have returned… and baby, absence really did make the heart grow fonder.We took a little time to rest, reset, and refill our cups with luxury, pleasure, and just the right amount of mischief. Now? We're back..... silk robes sliding off our shoulders, heels clicking across marble floors, and laughter spilling like fine champagne.PGC After Dark has always been about more than conversation… it's about creating a vibe. And when the Aunties show up, you know it's going to be bold, unfiltered, and dripping with the kind of energy that makes you lean in closer.We're talking late nights with red wine on our lips and secrets in our throats. We're talking grown-folk talk that teases, pleases, and pushes every boundary you thought you had. We're talking about that sweet spot where luxury meets lust, where wisdom meets wild, and where every story is too good not to tell.This isn't just a return, it's a renaissance. The Crazy Rich Aunties are back outside, dressed in desire and dripping in decadence, ready to remind you that grown and sexy has never gone out of style.In this episode, we're catching you up on what the Aunties have been up to behind closed doors..... self-indulgence, soft life living, and maybe a few stories too wild for daylight hours. Expect conversations that are equal parts playful and provocative: relationships, pleasure, power, and the kind of wisdom only an Auntie can deliver (with a side of laughter and shade).So dim the lights, pour something strong, and slide into our world. Because when the Aunties get together, it's always a little classy, a little nasty, and a whole lot of unforgettable. It's grown-folk talk time, baby… and we're turnin' up the volume on the realness. You already know how we do it at PGC After Dark..... no filters, no fluff, just vibes, truth, and a whole lotta sass.We want YOUR thoughts, your reactions, and your unfiltered commentary, so don't keep it to yourself… connect with us and join the After Dark conversation:Instagram: @pgcafterdarkFacebook: facebook.com/pgcafterdarkTwitter/X: @pgcafterdarkYouTube: https://youtube.com/c/pgcafterdarkDid something we said make you laugh out loud, raise an eyebrow, or leave you thinking, "Oop, I felt that"?

Neo-soul wasn't just music—it was a movement. It was incense smoke, Black love, protest, and poetry all wrapped in melody.
