Your Favorite Auntie

Hey bbs! For our latest interview this season, Auntie sits down in the YFA proverbial living room with the trend-setting influencer and "Style Unlocked" host, Jenee Naylor. A renaissance woman who has built a fashion media empire with her “high/low” approach to luxury fashion opens up about her beginnings in fashion, her earliest muses, the highs and lows (no pun intended) of working within the industry as a Black woman, and her thoughts on where she sees the industry going, post AI. With her radical candor and polished style, Naylor doesn’t hold back and reveals a must-hear exclusive on what’s next for the influencer’s growing brand…. You won’t want to miss this ki!

Hey bbs! To kick off Black History Month, host Marjon Carlos is discussing the inspiring and uplifting moments of the Grammys–from Beyoncé’s win, Doechi’s dominance, and the revenge Kendrick Lamar exacted upon his haters. It was exactly the type of joy we needed to get through these unprecedented times, but it still brought up discussions around resilience, authenticity, and the boxes culture insists putting on Black creatives. As the Academy Awards race heats up, Auntie digs into the controversy surrounding Emilia Perez’s star Carla Sofia Gascon’s racist tweets and why Babygirl didn’t get her off! Auntie also doles out last notes on RHONY’s season reunion and, in her Ask Auntie Anything segment, provides advice to would-be mothers who are worried about giving up their identities as they become a parent.

Hey bbs! This week host Marjon Carlos welcomes Diotima fashion designer Rachel Scott into her proverbial living room for a rich, inspiring, and hilarious ki about Scott’s incredible journey in the fashion industry. This past fall, Scott bested multi-million dollar fashion giants to become the first Black woman to ever win the CFDA Womenswear Designer of the Year award–a testimony to how the Jamaican-born fashion world vet is decentering the European luxury narrative in her work with her innovative focus on handmade craftsmanship and crochet. With her signature authenticity, Scott reveals the challenges and triumphs of being an independent designer, the importance of representation, the evolving landscape of American fashion, and how Diotima remains rooted in her Jamaican culture.

Hey bbs! We survived January and lived to tell the tale… Thank God, because there are some major pop cultural phenomena worth discussing: from Zoë Kravitz and Steve Lacy possibly hard launching their relationship at Saint Laurent, the recent Jacquemus show getting dragged online, the new show “Wags to Riches” and ofc the RHONY and RHOSLC reunions. Host Marjon Carlos unpacks it all, dovetailing into a topic she’s been dying to discuss for a minute now: the Carrie Bradshaw hate train. It’s gotta’ stop and Gen Z needs to put some respect on our favorite sex columnist’s name. Auntie also gets personal and lets you in on her new real estate move and her thoughts on the anti-DEI legislation that came down from D.C. last week.

Hey bbs! On this week’s episode, Auntie sits down in her proverbial living room with one of fashion’s most powerful women, publicist Gia Kuan. The gatekeeper and founder of Gia Kuan Consulting shares her journey from nightlife promoter in Melbourne to a leading figure in New York's fashion PR scene. Anyone who has ever attended one of Kuan’s parties or fashion shows knows her functions are some of the most sought-after invites and can literally cause sheer pandemonium. Remember Beyoncé at Luar?! But much more lies at the core of Kuan’s business beyond creating frenzy at the door. In this engaging conversation, Auntie and Gia discuss the intricacies of starting a career in PR, the importance of team dynamics, and the challenges of maintaining quality control while inviting disruption. Crashers are encouraged!

Hey bbs! Like most Americans with a pulse, host Marjon Carlos has been shifting between complete despair and an odd sense of optimism this past week as she attempts to mitigate these increasingly dark times. In her signature fashion, Auntie dives head-first into the complexities of navigating one’s emotions in a turbulent world and the importance of pursuing dreams amidst growing political chaos. Housewives drama has proven to be a good source of distraction during these bleak times, and Auntie gives you her signature deep dive into the RHONY season finale fiasco (what was that?!) and the RHOSLC season reunion hijinx. She also unpacks the Vanity Fair Megan Markle/Prince Harry cover story, the Oscar noms, the unique challenges Black women face in modern dating, and the lasting effects of bad bosses (we’ve all had them!). Tap in, and remember to hold the line!

Dating Burnout Is Real—and Here’s Why Black Women Are Feeling It the Most

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this must-hear episode, host Marjon Carlos welcomes Racquel Chevremont, the art world powerhouse and the newest addition to the Real Housewives of New York cast, into her living room. The Ducati-driving mother of two discusses navigating the upper echelons of the art industry, her transition into reality television, and the importance of representation as a Black queer woman in and out of the inner cabals of high art. With the same signature grace and vulnerability that made Bravo fans fall for the Bronx-native this season, Chevremont unpacks RHONY’s biggest moments like THAT prank, hints at the reunion drama, why the straights didn’t get her engagement party “ball” theme right, the significance of chosen family, and how her new love has helped her brave the proverbial shitstorm of the Bravoverse. To quote Ubah, Naomi wish!

Hey bbs! On this solo epi, host Marjon Carlos unpacks the biggest stories of the week, including Rihanna's recent confirmation as ASAP Rocky's common-law wife, the implications of TikTok's weird ass shutdown on free speech, and how Angie and Mary’s friendship on RHOSLC was a master class in “fighting for a friendship.” Also, after a week of hanging with the ladies from RHONY, Auntie shares her theories on the season finale (which airs tn!) and what the RHONY reboot teaches us about how Bravo is evolving its content strategy to attract a broader audience. Lastly, Auntie gets a little personal and discusses her decision to stop drinking and why lessening her intake is less a conversation about the “clean girl aesthetic” and more so about her mental health journey. Oh! And be sure to send through your existential crises this week so Auntie can answer them on-air during our ASK AUNTIE ANYTHING segment. She’s always here to help xx

“WHY I STOPPED DRINKING (AS OF NOW)” Substack

“Dry January Is Driving Me To Drink,” by Tressie McMillian Cottom

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Hey bbs! For our first interview this season, Auntie sits down in the YFA living room with the outrageously talented and wise, Mara Hoffman, for an insightful, hilarious, and touching conversation that only two Aries can have. The visionary designer walks us through her difficult decision to close her CFDA award-winning sustainable label after 20 years, the power in goodbyes, and why she would never do Real Housewives. Like a breath of fresh air, Mara’s ability to let go and redefine herself is an inspiration to the legions of women who saw themselves in her namesake line. Auntie and Mara hope this conversation offers a bit of joy and catharsis as we continue to move through such a difficult time…

Hey bbs! We’re back with another solo episode. We forewent the launch of our first interview epi last week out of respect for the devastation in LA. But hopefully, we’ll be able to launch that epi later this week: it’s one that I believe will inspire during these bleak times. In the meantime, step into Auntie’s proverbial living room for a one-on-one ki with host Marjon Carlos and listen to her takes on the Golden Globes’ Best Dressed and why Demi Moore’s acceptance speech impacted her so much. As always, Auntie will be providing her signature advice in the ASK AUNTIE ANYTHING segment while also dishing on pop culture’s biggest moments, including the Angel Reese and Gabby Thomas’s Vogue covers, Megan Markle’s new Netflix show, and why one family in California owning nearly all the water supply is this week’s NASTY WORK.
