Yes, Girl! episodes

July 27, 2017 Halle Berry
Last spring, Halle Berry damn near broke the internet by posting a pic of herself frolicking in a field of flowers back lit only by the sun. At 50, yes, she's gorgeous as ever but there's so much more to this Oscar winner. After talking with her during Essence Festival in New Orleans, we discovered Halle's hilarious and humbled, and like the determined mom she plays in Kidnap, she's fiercely protective of her two kids off screen. Take a listen.

June 29, 2017 Courtney A. Kemp (Power creator and executive producer) and The Matchmaking Duo
Long before Courtney A. Kemp created one of TV’s most addictive series, Power, she was a lowly magazine writer with much bigger aspirations than typing up celebrity Q&As. But when she had an opportunity to write about her own life coupled with the death of her father, the experience made starting her scriptwriting career a priority. As Power, which she created and executive produces, enters its fourth season, Kemp shares what motivates her, what’s next for her leading man Ghost and how she works alongside co-executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.
The Matchmaking Duo returns to explain exactly what happens when you hire a professional matchmaker and how they hold your hand on the road to love.
