Your Favorite Auntie

Hey bbs! With Aries season just around the corner, Auntie is feeling more and more like herself, and diving into this new solo epi with a newfound strength. After a week of hard professional and personal decisions, she’s waxing on the power of having confidence in one’s vision, how she’s thwarting the chaos of Venus and Mercury Rx, and why Gabby Windey is her new muse. She knows ya’ll have been waiting with bated breath to hear her takes on the RHOA new season and she’s full of them, along with an unpacking of Alabama Barker and Blackfishing during the “clean girl era.” Auntie then shares her own take on the Hannah Berner/Megan Thee Stallion drama and how it kicked off a larger conversation for her on the influencer/celebrity interview and what it means for Black journalists.

Hey bbs! Auntie is back on the mic after moving to Ridgewood, Queens, and is filling you in on her change of address and all the things she loves so far about her new neck of the woods. Auntie is also reflecting on the best part of female friendships (sharing clothes!) and why she’s so intentional about the diversity within her social circle, before diving into a recap of the Oscars, highlighting the night’s biggest fashion moments, Mickey’s big win (a fellow Aries queen!) and why she’s still not over Zoe Saldana playing Nina Simone all those years ago…the North remembers. Auntie then shares her thoughts on Meghan Markle's new show: it’s not for her, but she’ll take some jam! Check it out, along with her thoughts on “Summer House,” “Southern Charm,” and Doechii in Paris!Credits:Host: Marjon Carlos @marjon_carlosProducer: Mbiye Kasonga @mbiye_kEditing: We The Cool @wethecoolstudioMusic: Preston Morris Neukirch @pres.morrisSocial: Diana Caro @carobydianaFollow Us On Social!Show IG: @yourfavoriteauntieshow Host IG: @marjon_carlosTikTok: @ yourfavoriteauntieshowWeb: www.yourfavoriteauntie.comLA WILDFIRE MUTUAL AIDES:Displaced Black Families GoFund Me Google DocResources for Artists Affected By the LA Fires: artsharela.org/fire-resourcesFree and Centralized Resource Forum: LAfires.iolovesyou.comAltadena GirlsAnti-Recidivism CoalitionDoc with more mutual aid resources: tiny.cc/malan-fireDonate Food with Instacart! WILDLIFE AND DISASTER RESOURCES AND ALERTSAPP: Watch DutySits: Listoscalifornia.orgwww.fira.ca.gov

Hey bbs! Auntie is back from her move (which we’ll dig into in the next solo episode) and is sitting down in her proverbial living room with the captivating creative director and founder of jewelry brand VEERT, Julia Lang. A fixture in the fashion and media world, as an in-demand entrepreneur, culture connoisseur, and brand builder, Julia is one of those well-connected and creative New Yorkers who you always wonder, “How did you get your job?” We unpack her journey from Tanzania to New York, her experiences in the fashion industry, and the challenges of building a brand in a male-dominated space. The mama of one also shares her trials from hustling in her early years, her transformative experience working with Rocafella’s Kareem Biggs, and how she’s upending gender norms with her wildly successful jewelry brand, VEERT. You won’t want to miss this entrepreneur's incredible advice on brand building and remaining authentic in this ever-changing digital climate, so be sure to take notes!Credits:Host: Marjon Carlos @marjon_carlosProducer: Mbiye Kasonga @mbiye_kProduction: WTF Media @wtfmediastudiosEditing: We The Cool @wethecoolstudioMusic: Preston Morris Neukirch @pres.morrisSocial: Diana Caro @carobydianaFollow Us On Social!Show IG: @yourfavoriteauntieshow Host IG: @marjon_carlosTikTok: @ yourfavoriteauntieshowWeb: www.yourfavoriteauntie.comLA WILDFIRE MUTUAL AIDES:Displaced Black Families GoFund Me Google DocResources for Artists Affected By the LA Fires: artsharela.org/fire-resourcesFree and Centralized Resource Forum: LAfires.iolovesyou.comAltadena GirlsAnti-Recidivism CoalitionDoc with more mutual aid resources: tiny.cc/malan-fireDonate Food with Instacart! 

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...Credits:Host: Marjon Carlos @marjon_carlosProducer: Mbiye Kasonga @mbiye_kEditing: We The Cool @wethecoolstudioMusic: Preston Morris Neukirch @pres.morrisSocial: Diana Caro @carobydianaFollow Us On Social!Show IG: @yourfavoriteauntieshow Host IG: @marjon_carlosTikTok: @ yourfavoriteauntieshowWeb: www.yourfavoriteauntie.comLA WILDFIRE MUTUAL AIDES:Displaced Black Families GoFund Me Google DocResources for Artists Affected By the LA Fires: artsharela.org/fire-resourcesFree and Centralized Resource Forum: LAfires.iolovesyou.comAltadena GirlsAnti-Recidivism CoalitionDoc with more mutual aid resources: tiny.cc/malan-fireDonate Food with Instacart! WILDLIFE AND DISASTER RESOURCES AND ALERTSAPP: Watch DutySits: Listoscalifornia.orgwww.fira.ca.gov

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.

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…Credits:Host: Marjon Carlos @marjon_carlosProducer: Mbiye Kasonga @mbiye_kEditing: We The Cool @wethecoolstudioMusic: Preston Morris Neukirch @pres.morrisSocial: Diana Caro @carobydianaFollow Us On Social!Show IG: @yourfavoriteauntieshow Host IG: @marjon_carlosTikTok: @ yourfavoriteauntieshowWeb: www.yourfavoriteauntie.comLA WILDFIRE MUTUAL AIDES:Displaced Black Families GoFund Me Google DocResources for Artists Affected By the LA Fires: artsharela.org/fire-resourcesFree and Centralized Resource Forum: LAfires.iolovesyou.comAltadena GirlsAnti-Recidivism CoalitionDoc with more mutual aid resources: tiny.cc/malan-fireDonate Food with Instacart! TONI MORRISON ESSAY: “The Work You Do, the Person You Are”
