Season 2, Episode 16: Auntie on the RHOA Premiere, Alabama Barker, Blackfishing, and More!

Your Favorite Auntie Live! with Julee Wilson, Gabriella Khalil, Ash Rucker and More

Your Favorite Auntie goes LIVE! In her first-ever live show, host Marjon Carlos invites the YFA community into her proverbial living room for a night of style, honesty, and a little mess. She opens up about heartbreak, isolation, a doxxing scare (seriously, WTH?!), and finding her way back to alignment—all while breaking down the biggest stories in culture from Love Island, And Just Like That, The Materialists, politics, and more. Joined by her bestie Julee Wilson, the two get real about friendship in a busy world: making space, showing grace, knowing when to let go, and keeping playfulness alive. Plus, in a special moment with partner Merit Beauty, Gabriella Khalil and Ash Rucker share with Auntie how they face the day with grace. And because no YFA Live would be complete without it, Auntie takes the mic for a wild round of “Ask Auntie Anything”—giving her signature hard-to-hear advice you didn’t know you needed. A jam-packed, vulnerable, and hilarious kickoff to many more YFA Lives to come, this is a can’t-miss epi in partnership with Merit Beauty and Cash App!

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 Credits: Host: Marjon Carlos @marjon_carlos [https://www.instagram.com/marjon_carlos/] Editing: We The Cool @wethecoolstudio [https://www.instagram.com/wethecoolstudio/?hl=en] Music: Preston Morris Neukirch @pres.morris [https://www.instagram.com/pres.morris/?hl=en] Social: Diana Caro @carobydiana Follow Us On Social!

Season 2, Episode 18: Auntie and June Ambrose!

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!  Credits: Host: Marjon Carlos @marjon_carlos [https://www.instagram.com/marjon_carlos/] Production: WTF Media @wtfmediastudios Editing: We The Cool @wethecoolstudio [https://www.instagram.com/wethecoolstudio/?hl=en] Music: Preston Morris Neukirch @pres.morris [https://www.instagram.com/pres.morris/?hl=en] Social: Diana Caro @carobydiana Follow Us On Social!

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

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… Credits: Host: Marjon Carlos @marjon_carlos [https://www.instagram.com/marjon_carlos/] Production: WTF Media @wtfmediastudios Editing: We The Cool @wethecoolstudio [https://www.instagram.com/wethecoolstudio/?hl=en] Music: Preston Morris Neukirch @pres.morris [https://www.instagram.com/pres.morris/?hl=en] Social: Diana Caro @carobydiana Follow Us On Social!
