Season 2, Episode 19: YFA SEASON 2 FINALE! Auntie on YFA Season 2, RHOBH Drama, and More

Tue, 01 Apr 2025 18:30:00 GMT

Where did the time go?! In the season finale, Auntie reflects on an iconic journey, celebrating the successes and challenges faced throughout the season, while remaining in an eternal place of gratitude. Still buzzing from season 2’s iconic party a few weeks ago, she gives listeners T from the evening, along with insights on the importance of community and connection. And having just celebrated her birthday and experienced the Aries portal, Auntie is looking ahead to new beginnings and a new chapter in her career and personal life and working to know herself better this year by thwarting off self-limiting beliefs. As always, she’s unpacking pop culture, from RHOBH Garcelle Bouvier’s exit from the show and its sociopolitical implications, to how Jack Harlow and Doja Cat’s new song “Just Us” is a sexy ode to limerance, while also debriefing on the Southern Charm reunion and more! Auntie couldn’t sign off without offering some much-needed advice one more time, emphasizing the importance of self-discovery and getting out of a creative rut. It’s a super-sized goodbye until we return for Season 3. Until next time, auntie sends her love xx

Season 2, Episode 18: Auntie and June Ambrose!

Thu, 27 Mar 2025 18:49:28 GMT

In our epic final interview of the season, Auntie sits down in her proverbial living room with the icon, the legend, the moment, June Ambrose. From the costume designer’s groundbreaking work with musical icons like Missy Elliott, Jay-Z, Busta Rhyme, and Mariah Carey, to being a key architect of some of the most unforgettable fashion moments in pop culture history, June has become a North Star for anyone dreaming of making their mark in the fashion world. The Bronx-native was not only one of the first public-facing stylists, but she moved throughout the gatekept and racially homogeneous world of fashion as a Black woman with authenticity and authority–taking up space in rooms we rarely were invited into. With her creativity, whimsy, and fearless commitment to self-expression, she’s inspired a generation of image makers, writers, and artists and proved that style isn’t about following trends but defining your narrative. In this deep, heartfelt convo, the duo unpack June’s singular approach to costume design, how she got her start in the music industry, and her enduring commitment to empowering others through fashion. June also reveals her thoughts on being called an “auntie”...! You won’t want to miss this incredible conversation–it’s a tru fashion girl’s dream!

Season 2, Episode 17: Auntie and Chef Charlie Mitchell!

Thu, 20 Mar 2025 18:30:00 GMT

Hey bbs! Auntie is back and sitting down in her proverbial living room with the James Beard Award and Michelin Star-winning chef, Charlie Mitchell of SAGA New York. Mitchell’s name seemed to be on the tip of everyone’s tongue last year. The 32-year-old chef had not only made history as the first Black chef in New York to ever win a Michelin star for his fine dining skills at Brooklyn Heights’s local Clover Hill. But he had then went on to win a James Beard Award: Best Chef, NY state. A wunderkind in the kitchen who was making history and breaking glass ceilings, Mitchell has now taken the reigns at Saga NY and is bringing a much-needed energy into NY fine dining–from his flavorful recipes to his Drake-filled playlists. We’ll be talking with the Detroit native about how he’s dominating the food world and leaving no crumbs in his young career. Mitchell also just happens to be our first cis het male guest ever– he just continues to make history…

Season 2, Episode 14: Auntie on Moving in NY, "White Lotus" Season 3, and How to Handle Sexual Harassment in the Workplace

Tue, 25 Feb 2025 19:30:00 GMT

Hey bbs! On this solo epi, host Marjon Carlos is mid-move and sharing her thoughts on this massive upheaval that New Yorkers know all too well. Amidst the boxes, she’s also sharing her self-care routine and how she’s remaining intentional about where she spends her time these days. The return of “White Lotus” and collective television watching has made Auntie particularly inspired during these otherwise despairing times; she unpacks the beginnings of Season 3, along with “Summer House” and “Southern Charm” Bravoverse drama. ASAP Rocky’s recent not-guilty verdict got her thinking about soul mates, and as always, she’s delivering her signature advice and helping a listener handle sexual harassment in the workplace. There won’t be a new interview epi this Thursday, in lieu of Auntie’s move. But hang in there: next week she’s back in the proverbial living room with an incredible new guest you won’t want to miss...

Season 2, Episode 13: Auntie and Cami Árboles!

Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:30:00 GMT

Hey bbs! For our latest interview this season, Auntie sits down in her proverbial living room with the spellbinding pole artist and creative, Cami Árboles. Many know Árboles from her viral pole video of the then-Yale graduate spinning in her cap and gown to celebrate earning her degree in Performance from the Ivy League university. The watershed moment broke open a conversation on the presence of pole’s place in such lofty institutions and also marked a huge transition in Árboles’s career. The shapeshifting goddess would go on to famously teach SZA how to work the pole, collaborate with FKA twigs, open her own movement studio, and tour the world teaching others the power of pole. With an unerring optimism and infectious energy, Árboles discusses the challenges and joys of dancing in heels, the importance of embracing pain and growth, and how the body serves as a canvas for art. You won’t want to miss this must-hear ki!

Tue, 18 Feb 2025 19:30:00 GMT

Hey bbs! On this solo epi, host Marjon Carlos breaks down one of the biggest stories of the week: the cultural and sartorial significance of Kendrick Lamar’s flare jeans. Putting her fashion editor roots to work, Auntie reveals the science behind proportions and why this denim trend is here to stay. She also delves into the cultural phenomenon that is “the American Lady in Pakistan” and why this story is actually a testament to how humanity is not lost despite what global politics may look like these days. The return of “Summer House” and all the drama that has ensued captivated Auntie this week, as she digs into Paige and Craig's split, the Ciara and West standoff, and Lindsay’s pregnancy reveal. And as always, Marjon delivers her signature advice for the ASK AUNTIE ANYTHING segment, passing along the career advice she got from Toni Morrison that she’s never forgotten…

Season 2, Episode 10: Auntie on The Grammys, “Babygirl,” the RHONY Reunion, and More!

Tue, 11 Feb 2025 19:30:00 GMT

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.

Thu, 06 Feb 2025 20:00:00 GMT

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.

Season 2, Episode 8: Auntie on Fashion Week Drama, “Wags to Riches”, and the Legacy of Carrie Bradshaw

Tue, 04 Feb 2025 14:00:00 GMT

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.

Season 2, Episode 7: Auntie and Gia Kuan!

Thu, 30 Jan 2025 17:00:00 GMT

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!

Season 2, Episode 6: America Has A Problem

Tue, 28 Jan 2025 17:07:57 GMT

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!

Thu, 23 Jan 2025 20:00:00 GMT

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!

Season 2, Episode 4: Auntie on Rihanna's Relationship Status, TikTok + Free Speech, RHONY Theories, and More!

Tue, 21 Jan 2025 19:48:59 GMT

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

Season 2, Episode 3: Auntie and Mara Hoffman!

Thu, 16 Jan 2025 22:30:00 GMT

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.

Thu, 19 Oct 2023 22:23:07 GMT

Where did the time go?! In the season finale epi, Auntie sits down with her friend and the mogul behind the acclaimed resort Palm Heights, Gabriella Khalil. The two discuss how the Philly native went from working in the London art world to opening the go-to destination for the art, fashion, and design glitterati, what it’s like to go viral (Good luck getting a resy at Habibi!), and what she’s learned as a boss. It’s a must-hear for any would-be magnates! And as always, Auntie answers your burning questions and provides advice in “Ask Auntie” and the hottest takes on “This Week’s Mess.” This week? She tells you how to get a *hobosexual* out of your house (ahem) and why the commodification of box braids has gone too far!

Thu, 12 Oct 2023 17:04:44 GMT

This is for the SATC girlies! Fellow Aries, pop cultural enthusiast, and Carrie Bradshaw scholar, Evan Ross Katz sits down this week with Auntie to discuss their Roman Empire: How in the hell did “And Just Like That” get renewed for a season 3?! Katz gives us his take and some inside scoop on why the show is such a disservice to the SATC legacy, along with his thoughts on the new RHONY cast, what it’s like to write a book, and whether or not he started “P Valley” yet. Michael Patrick King, call us. And as always, Auntie answers your burning questions and provides advice in “Ask Auntie”, and provides the hottest takes on “This Week’s Mess.” This week? I talk about how turning 40 sometimes kind of sucks and how to build out a wardrobe that really reflects who you are.
