Two months into 2021, and we're still at home, but we know we're not the only ones. At least we have streaming, food delivery, and podcasts (wink, wink) to keep us company. Speaking of streaming...lately, our Friday nights have been spent watching 90's and early 00's re-runs. That's why we're beyond excited for the return of Coming to America (available on Amazon Prime March 5th). It's the best of both worlds - old-school nostalgia and new content for the weekend.To get us in a regal state of mind, Academy Award-Winning Costume Designer, Ruth E. Carter, stopped by (virtually of course), to give Cori and Charli some tips, and share anecdotes about her 30-plus year career, styling some of our favorite celebrities for the most iconic movies.NOTE: This episode is sponsored by Crown Royal So, what's your favorite moment from the original Coming to America? Let us know, and be sure to use #yesgirlpodcast.Yes Girl Hosts: Cori Murray (@corimurray) + Charli Penn (@charlipenn)Bookings: Cori Murray + Charli PennAudio: Anthony Frasier (@anthonyfrasier)Music: Gold Standard Creative (@gscdotnyc)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Alicia Keys

Being in the music industry for nearly twenty years qualifies Alicia Keys (@aliciakeys) to be a lot of things - a veteran, a role model and so much more - but it’s her role as a wife and mother that has helped her become the grown ass woman who sits before us today. Hosts, Cori Murray and Charli Penn catch up with the timeless musician, and June ESSENCE cover star, to exchange grown woman wisdom and Keys is happier than ever. Listen to her tell us why hubby Swizz Beatz completes her, when she put her “big girl panties” on and how motherhood changed her. Plus C+C discuss the most grown move anyone could make…paying off those student loans and bills. (Congrats Morehouse Class of 2019!)Keep telling us what you think.
