  • This One’s For The #GirlDads | #RIPKobeandGianna

    Since learning of the passing of sports legend Kobe Bryant, and his daughter Gianna Bryant. The conversations surrounding his legacy have filled us with warmth as we remember the father he was. This week we wanted to center Black #girldads and it only made sense to invite Essence Ventures Founder and Chair, and #GirlDad of FOUR - Richelieu Dennis. Our prayers are with the fathers of all the families affected by the tragedy and we hope that this episode helps to lift up the beauty of Black fatherhood. Use #YesGirlPodcast to share your #girldad experiences and hug your loved ones a little tighter today.

  • Sophia Chang Is Unapologetically The Baddest Chick In EVERY Room

    Sophia Chang (@sophchangnyc) is the queen bee of badasses! She’s lighting up Instagram feeds daily with all the empowerment that a bad chick needs.

    This “Music Business Matriarchitect” has managed the magic behind your favorite artists’ (and their labels) for the past 25 years - ODB, RZA, GZA, Q-Tip, Raphael Saadiq, A Tribe Called Quest, D’Angelo, Joey Bada$$ and more. 

    Now she’s conquering a new chapter in her story - author and storyteller. Her audio event The Baddest Bitch in the Room, now available on Audible, is possibly the most candid and reflective story of love and hip-hop. Cori (@corimurray) and Charli (@charlipenn) give us a front-row seat to Sophia, as she shares her tools for how women of color can be seen and heard, by any means necessary.

  • ‘Watchmen’ Star Yahya Abdul-Mateen II Did Not Come To Play With Hollywood!

    When we say we had a GOOD time with this man? We mean it! Star of the hit HBO series, ‘Watchmen’ Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (@yahya) is the New Orleans-born architect-turned-actor taking Hollywood by storm with his incredible acting chops. He’s also quickly become a sex symbol...because abs, and fully connected beard...and adorable face! He kept us cracking up! Get into this episode because we definitely had a good time discussing his relatively quick rise in La La Land, his already iconic role starring opposite Regina King in Watchmen and all the lessons he’s learned along the way. Don’t forget to leave us comments to let us know what you think of the episode and tell a friend! Use hashtag #YesGirlPodcast!
