Friend to the show Amanda Seales (@amandaseales) truly does it all – comedienne, actress, activist, podcaster, DJ, and host. This week she’s back celebrating the premiere of her one-hour HBO comedy show, I Be Knowin’, which is major because she’s the second Black woman to have a standup comedy special on the network. We love Amanda because she’s smart, funny and Black (see what we did there?). Plus, she’s fearless when she’s expressing her love and support of Black women. On this episode, we raise a glass to Amanda’s big wins, celebrate her hustle, and allow her to do what she does best: get a few things off her chest. Plus, Cori (@corimurray), Yolanda (@yolizama) and Charli (T:@manwifedog/IG: @charlipenn) have thoughts about that juicy Fyre doc everyone is talking about, because….girl!

Ronnie (@bigrondevoe) and Shamari (@shamaridevoe) DeVoe aren't new to this fame game, but they certainly are the real thing. With nearly 40 years in the industry (combined), this celebrity couple has seen much as a duo, and as individuals. Now embarking on another chapter, after nearly 15 years of marriage, Ronnie (New Edition, BellBivDeVoe) and Shamari (Blaque, RHOA) spent some time with Yes,Girl to talk marriage, open relationships, and weathering the storm in marriage and music. Plus Cori (@corimurray), Yolanda (@yolizama) and Charli (@charlipenn) share some fan love, and take a deep dive into where we go from here as Black women and girls, in light of the Surviving R.Kelly docuseries.

Erica Campbell (@ImEricaCampbell) is a master of many trades, on the low. The Grammy award-winning singer, radio host, entrepreneur, wife, and mother can't be stopped from fulfilling God's purpose for her life.
