Merry Christmas, Everyone! Just in time for the holiday season, 'Adult-ish' host Afiya A. is back with a new "Fifi After Dark," which features a topic that most think about this time of year: showing up and showing support. In this episode (recorded back on December 20), our favorite adult gets a little vulnerable while discussing the several events in her life that have been plaguing her health — both mentally and physically — and how the events have led her to re-evaluate the concept of showing up for someone. "How do you show up for a friend? How do you show support for a loved one?" It's amazing to show love to someone during a joyous occasion, but what does that look like when your favorite people are down and out? Listen on as our usual favorite clown tears it all down... with tears of her own. Tune in for these reflections on love, friendship, and the meaning of showing up and showing support for the ones we say we love and care for.

She's back, y'all! Coming out of an impromptu end-of-summer break, your fave adult has returned — and not only is she spilling tea, but she's giving hot takes, too. In this new 'Fifi After Dark,' our slightly-sauced-up host Afiya talks about the recent drama hitting the Adult-ish squad (because she's going to keep it as 100 with you as possible), that's been keeping production held up. Then, she quickly channels all that pent-up energy into her latest hot take, which focuses on the long-awaited tease of a big Disney upset: "The Little Mermaid" starting Halle Bailey. You already know how she feels about remakes, but her thoughts on this one might surprise you — or not...So get ready to hear our girl go through out and get in her feels, 'cause she's back!

When the fear of failure is overwhelming, it can make you crack — and in this 'Fifi After Dark,' Fifi discusses reaching her limits. Tackling everything from derailed plans, podcast recordings, and personal relationships, the 'Adult-ish' host, Afiya, gets to the heart of feeling like a failure for recent short-comings (including this podcast) and her desire to turn things around. Listen on as she takes us through a recent getaway to the south (that also had its bit of drama) that allowed her time to think, reconnect, and even treat herself to a HUGE gift.

What a time to be alive and what better way to return to the world than with a few boundaries? It's a part of adulthood when folks start to switch up on you, but when they start to treat you with little-to-no feedback OR tact, that's when it's time to start putting your foot down.In this new, return episode of 'Adult-ish,' host Vincent takes the lead to talk through the fine art of teaching people to treat you the way you want to be treated — like an adult. Recounting his own recent run-in with a friend, the ever-entertaining Vincent speaks through the steps he took to teach a friend how to approach him with their frustrations.

No matter who you are, we know you were affected by this past week's Supreme Court ruling to overturn the 1973 case Roe v. Wade, which granted women the constitutional right to privacy of her body and made abortion legal. That's right, y'all -- America has officially decided to allow the states to minimize and overall restrict the rights of women to their own bodies. And all those white women who were scared the 'Handmaid's Tale' was going to come life, there you go! In this episode of Fifi After Dark, your host pulls it together to get her own personal feelings on the situation, and boy does she have a lot to say about the ruling, its implications, and the douchebags who made it happen.

It's been a long time since we left you, without a dope show to listen to — but we're back! Though we're not entirely back up, we are back with some 2021 episodes that never made it to air until now, while we prepare for the fresh, new 2022 content dropping soon. In this episode of "Adult-ish," host Afiya is joined by the lovely Vincent Bernard, who quickly gives a chat on generational divides before diving into two shows that were hitting the feels: "Insecure" and "Love Life."

We owed you all an episode, didn't we? Well, here it is!We're back with the not-so-NEW episode we promised you of 'Adult-ish' featuring our fave co-host, Vincent Bernard, for a conversation around shredding & processing growth as an adult. While chatting about his academic plans in August (yeesh, we're behind), Vince takes a deeper dive into where he is in his life, his insecurities, and embracing the idea of "shedding." Much like abandoned crab shells, we humans go through periods of shedding and the duo speak to what the universe has been speaking to them in the Summer of 2021. While hitting a bowl and allowing their minds to flow, the duo mull over their desire to grow professionally and how they never really understood how important THIS aspect of life can be to adulting.Host: Afiya A.http://twitter.com/lajoliepoeta http://instagram.com/alja0214 Clubhouse @Aljaugustwww.aljathewriter.comCo-Host: Vincent Bernardhttps://www.facebook.com/vincent.bernard.543http://instagram.com/vincentbernard_83http://www.twitter.com/vincebernardAdult-ish Podcast http://twitter.com/adultishp0dcasthttp://instagram.com/adultishp0dcasthttp://facebook.com/adultishp0dcast

And the gang is back (sort of) for this pre-recorded episode of 'Adult-ish'! While not so timely, the episode talks to something that is all too relevant these days: cancel culture. Joined by co-host Vincent Bernard, the pair take on the latest person (at that time) to be hit with the cancel culture wave -- Da Baby. After making some disparaging comments during a concert, the rapper came under fire by many, including members and allies of the LGBTQIA community. Was it warranted? Was the apology sincere? Will he remained cancel? Though we already know the answer to several of those questions, listen on as the duo take on cancel culture and discuss whether or not a person every really remains "canceled."

A recent Instagram post by multi-hyphenate Amanda Seales triggered the topic for this NEW episode of "Adult-ish": the difference between "nice" and "kind" and host Afiya takes time to evaluate this concept among the adage, "nice guys finish last." In tapping into the overall difference between being a "nice" guy and a "kind" human being, Afiya takes a step further to discuss, how true this cliché is. Are nice guys really finishing last... or is it something much deeper than what's on the surface?With booze in her system from the night before and the morning of, the podcaster rips into the "nice men" who call themselves nice, while really being a fuckboy in a kind man's clothing. Yup, she went there and chose violence.Listen on as she breaks down the nuances of being nice, kind, and a man assuming that being nice should grant him access to panties that don't want quiver for his grubby paws.

And we're back... sort of! In this long-awaited (and slightly outdated) episode of "Adult-ish", host Afiya takes the wheel for a FAD (Fifi After Dark) apologizing for the impromptu hiatus brought on burgeoning work schedules, tech malfunctions, and people just being busy ass adults. Thankfully, Afiya was able to have some kind of conversation about herself regarding travel weary queries and all the bugs and kinks that keep most folk (like herself) from venturing out into the unknown... as she slurps her liquor-filled libations. Listen on as she details some of the tips, tricks, lessons, and first-time activities she was able to learn and complete on a trip that could've absolutely gone left, but somehow turned out somewhat alright.It's time to come on back, y'all!

Do you ever feel a way when you re-watch one of your favorite films as an adult? While we know 'Adult-ish' host Afiya loves to tear into Disney films with her adult lenses, it's Mr. Vincent Bernard who has something to say about one of his favorite features. In this fun episode of 'Adult-ish,' the pair take on several films from their past including 'To Wong Foo: Thanks For Everything, Julie Newmar,' and how the film reduced sexual assault to comedic plot as well as their personal favorite, 'Bram Stoker's Dracula.' The two really take a deeper dive into moments of the film that spoke to assault, rape, and sexuality on levels that weren't really there yet as younger folks. While we laughed and loved as children, as adults, the twosome sit back and take a harder look at these themes and how they expressed themselves. And yes, the two were slightly inebriated.

All is fair in love and war, right? So why do girl/guy codes seem to make or break a potential relationship? In this episode of 'Adult-ish,' host Afiya uses the time for a little Fifi After Dark to discuss her own unconventional -- and possibly controversial -- thoughts on the ever-popular "girl code" as it related to 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' reality star, Porsha Williams. The peach-holding hottie has been put in some hot water after announcing her new engagement to boyfriend Simon after a month of dating for those not in the know. The shocker? Simon is recently divorced from Porsha's "friend" Fallon. While new details regarding the relationships between all parties involved come to light, many are throwing Porsha under the bus for violating the "girl code," but is she wrong? Should one deny themselves a potential love because of a past relationship that included a "friend"? Of course, we can have a conversation on what it really means to be a "friend," but for right now, the slightly inebriated host is digging into why she thinks these codes are all a ploy for folks with strong emotions versus anything else.

What happens when the child in the family grows up and wants to be viewed as an adult around the other adults in their lives? After a month-long impromptu hiatus, Adult-ish is BACK, and on this episode, we're diving head-first into a Fifi After Dark talking about... well, being an adult! For this FAD, our slightly tipsy host speaks about her recent travels to older/elder relatives and talks to her experience of being seen (or not) as an adult... as an adult. While some folks have an easier time of the transition from kid to adult in their families, the Brooklyn-based podcaster speaks to her time making the jump in a traditional, Caribbean family, where years of routine respect, obedience, and even language can dominate one's perspective on another.

Parents... it's hard to raise them, am I right? In this episode of 'Adult-ish,' host Afiya comes through with a new Fifi After Dark to continue the conversation on raising parents.

Drinking — it's something we love to do, and at times a hallmark, nay, a right of passage for adulthood. So, why does it seem like a lot of us are doing wrong? Well, because we are. In this episode of "Adult-ish," host Afiya A. sits down with Kayla Mensah, a sommelier, to discuss the science behind drinking wine, finding the stuff you like, and some of the stereotypes that have come with drinking liquor. The duo go down a rabbit hole talking about drinks that were once outlawed for certain groups (looking at you, Coke!), and how the beverage industry is playing favorites to get sales out of us. Oh yeah — even drinks are racialized. Tune in for a pretty interesting conversation.

Porn. Pornographic material. We all know about it. Some of us use it, some of us... not so much. Sometimes, uttering the word can bring about many feelings — including shame. So, let's talk about it with an expert! In this episode of "Adult-ish," host Afiya A. sits down with psychotherapist, fetish trainer, AND adult entertainer Jet Setting Jasmine to discuss our feelings about porn as adults. This very candid conversation runs the gamut from the porn star's first introduction to sex, to how she believes porn can be used to shape our perceptions of sex and sexuality in a healthy way. The two speak to how they use porn in their individual lives and why it's essential to break the negative stigma around the industry since it's the way many of us first learn about the concept of sexual pleasure. And if sexual pleasure is important, shouldn't the conversation around watching it hold similar weight? We think so!

As the country has officially sworn in a new president, we can only hope now that this will be a time our nation will attempt to make peace with itself. Several of the rioters and domestic terrorists who have stormed The Capitol are facing the consequences of their actions. No one should ever feel like they are so entitled — whether it's the law or your life. In this uncovered Fifi After Dark, host Afiya A. chats about the insurrectionists that attacked our nation's capital and how this could very well be a life lesson on we allow others to take our voice, and our agency all due to the entitlement the feel as a person in your life.It's amazing how we can allow others to dictate what's right or wrong to suit their needs and in this episode, she really lets Vanilla Isis — and the insurrectionists in your squad — have it!You don't want to miss it!

The first week of 2021 has already taken the nation by storm — literally — as rioters and domestic terrorist waving their Trump flags stormed the nation's Capitol building to overturn the results of the election.

In this episode 'Fifi After Dark,' host Afiya A. laments on how time changed in 2020 and what the year gave to us, both good and bad.

Grammy nominations are out and per usual, many musical artists are in their feels about being "snubbed." One in particular, Teyana Taylor, took the snub pretty hard and went on to announce her potential retirement from music... but was it really warranted? In this episode of "Adult-ish," both host Afiya A and co-host Vincent Bernard examine the "WTP" singer's decision to leave the industry and poses the question: is she bowing out because of rejection OR because she feels it's time to step away from music? This ultimately leads to a larger discuss around the concept of stepping away from one's passion and how to do that like an adult, sans regret.

As we approach the frosty cold and near the end of the year, we often use this time to reflect on our past — and in this Fifi After Dark (FAD), the "Adult-ish" host does just that. In this new episode, host Afiya goes it alone for another liquor-fueled moment of self-reflection as she laments over the words of relationship coach, Alison Wellington of Align with Alison. Doing a call back to S4, Ep. 27, the podcaster speaks to her own experience with boomerang dating and follow-up situationships and what she's learned from her failed dating trials. Managing expectations in a relationship is hard, but listen on as she talks (and maybe even slurs?) through how she was able to overcome some of her anxiety on the topic and make demands in her relationships — whether she actually got them is another story.

In this episode "Adult-ish", host Afiya A. is joined by co-host Vincent Bernard to do a call back to 'Ep. 25: FAD #22 — Giving Yourself Time to Grieve Relationships Like an Adult-ish' and our dear Vincent takes the reins to talk about his experience with grief and mourning. Dubbing this episode an "Adult-ish Quickie," Vincent speaks to a recent loss of his and the thoughts behind having to grieve a loss in its entirety — from the physical loss to the emotional gap that death and/or the end of a relationship brings. In this moment of pure vulnerability, Vincent takes listeners on a transitive journey as he processes the death of a loved one, talks to the respect of allowing individuals time to process a loss, and then learning how to move on. Relationships may end, either through death or change of circumstance, but it's always important to take the time to grieve the situation. While a bit somber, we hope this quickie makes you a little more thankful for all those around you and all those you carry with you — however best you choose to carry them.

There are many reasons to consider a person a friend, but are looks one of them? For some, this may actually be the case! In this episode of "Adult-ish," host Afiya tackles the topic of an Insta meme with friend and fellow Aquarian, Jen aka the original Hot Mess Mom. The two HS friends mull over the idea of maintaining friendships due to a physical — and possibly romantic — attraction. Do you hang on to friends because you're attracted to them?
