You’re The Problem... with Yamaneika

Yamaneika is back in the Yamily advice office, and apparently everybody’s relationships need HR.

Plus, Yamaneika realizes she might need to start writing Listener Letters to herself.

Argentina's racism, the WNBA's Angel Reese controversy, explosive food illnesses, and one streamer's comments about Black women all get the Yamaneika treatment.

This week on You're the Problem, Yamaneika and Tyree unpack Argentina's latest racism controversy, the internet's reaction to "Big Nigga Burgers," whether Angel Reese was unfairly called a "protected species," and why America suddenly can't seem to trust its own food supply. Then Yamaneika hilariously dismantles a viral streamer's "preferences" for Black women before answering listener questions on dating, co-parenting, and relationship boundaries with the brutally honest advice only she can give.
