What does it mean to be an “auntie”? Studies have shown that aunties — whether they are a family member, a chosen maternal figure or a parent's friend — play a crucial support role in a child's upbringing. But the work doesn't end at the family unit. Aunties are often the ones showing up and acting as powerful forces of social change. We'll talk with artists, scholars and community organizers about the underrated power of aunties, and the ways in which they actively redefine the nuclear family unit and our systems of care. Guests: Kristina Wong, comedian and performance artist; Doris Duke Artist Award winner, Guggenheim Fellow and Pulitzer Prize finalist in Drama; her kids' book "Auntie Kristina's Guide to Asian American Activism" comes out Spring 2026 from Beaming Books Jocelyn Jackson, chef and community organizer; founder, JustUs Kitchen; co-founder, People's Kitchen Collective; executive producer, Life is Living Festival; former chef-in-residence, Museum of African Diaspora Kareem Khubchandani, educator, scholar and performer; associate professor of theater, dance and performance studies, Tufts University Learn more about your ad choices.

The Aunties have returned… and baby, absence really did make the heart grow fonder.We took a little time to rest, reset, and refill our cups with luxury, pleasure, and just the right amount of mischief. Now? We're back..... silk robes sliding off our shoulders, heels clicking across marble floors, and laughter spilling like fine champagne.PGC After Dark has always been about more than conversation… it's about creating a vibe. And when the Aunties show up, you know it's going to be bold, unfiltered, and dripping with the kind of energy that makes you lean in closer.We're talking late nights with red wine on our lips and secrets in our throats. We're talking grown-folk talk that teases, pleases, and pushes every boundary you thought you had. We're talking about that sweet spot where luxury meets lust, where wisdom meets wild, and where every story is too good not to tell.This isn't just a return, it's a renaissance. The Crazy Rich Aunties are back outside, dressed in desire and dripping in decadence, ready to remind you that grown and sexy has never gone out of style.In this episode, we're catching you up on what the Aunties have been up to behind closed doors..... self-indulgence, soft life living, and maybe a few stories too wild for daylight hours. Expect conversations that are equal parts playful and provocative: relationships, pleasure, power, and the kind of wisdom only an Auntie can deliver (with a side of laughter and shade).So dim the lights, pour something strong, and slide into our world. Because when the Aunties get together, it's always a little classy, a little nasty, and a whole lot of unforgettable. It's grown-folk talk time, baby… and we're turnin' up the volume on the realness. You already know how we do it at PGC After Dark..... no filters, no fluff, just vibes, truth, and a whole lotta sass.We want YOUR thoughts, your reactions, and your unfiltered commentary, so don't keep it to yourself… connect with us and join the After Dark conversation:Instagram: @pgcafterdarkFacebook: facebook.com/pgcafterdarkTwitter/X: @pgcafterdarkYouTube: https://youtube.com/c/pgcafterdarkDid something we said make you laugh out loud, raise an eyebrow, or leave you thinking, “Oop, I felt that”?

Four years ago, we sat down with Kahehtoktha Janice Brant one of the first Aunties we ever interviewed for this podcast.She's a Kanyen'kehà;ka Mohawk Seed Keeper, farmer, and co-founder of the Kenté:ke Seed Sanctuary. And honestly, that episode still stands out because of who she is - so we are very happy to include her in the first of our Aunties Revisited series.Her name, Kahehtoktha, means “She goes the length of the garden,”. Janice has been doing this work for a long time - planting, protecting, organizing, teaching. And since that first interview, she's only expanded what she's doing.We caught up with her again recently, in pajamas, with coffee. We also talk about her niece who's starting to take on the seed work. Janice is still in it - and she is raising up the next generation of leaders. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

"I do not shop with the Africans. Ain't no African ever braided my hair." A call to boycott African braiding shops, restaurants, and stores is gaining steam among some Black Americans, and the Aunties are here to shut down the diaspora wars.This week, we're diving deep into the painful and divisive rhetoric fueling this boycott and questioning where this misdirected anger is coming from.Join the unfiltered discussion as we get into:The Boycott: Unpacking the claims behind the boycott and why blaming one part of our community for bad service is a dangerous distraction.Beyoncé vs. Michael Jackson: A viral TikTok creator claims Beyoncé is now bigger than MJ. The Aunties break down why Michael's legacy is untouchable.Kemi Badenoch's Rebrand: The UK politician now says she no longer identifies as Nigerian. We discuss her desperate pandering and the betrayal felt by the community.Colorism & Pregnancy: Reacting to the pressure and intrusive questions a pregnant Jasmine Brown is facing about her unborn daughter's skin tone and hair texture.

In this episode, the Agony Aunties address a listener's courageous question about pursuing romantic relationships after surviving childhood sexual abuse (CSA). The listener shares their struggle with complex PTSD (C-PTSD) and interest in dating, emotions they find challenging to navigate. The Agony Aunties emphasise the importance of going slowly, staying in therapy, and reclaiming one's sexuality and agency. They suggest resources such as 'Healing Sex' by Staci Haines and Bessel Van der Kolk's 'The Body Keeps the Score,' among others. They also discuss the significance of communication and consent in new relationships and encourage the listener to be patient and compassionate with themselves during their healing journey. If you're going through something similar, I'd really recommend listening to Kate Silverton and Charles Spencer's episodes —they both offer comfort, insight, and a sense that you're not alone.

In this heartfelt episode, the Agony Aunties respond to a moving question from a listener approaching 60 who fears her life may be over because she's still single. What unfolds is a powerful conversation about redefining happiness and connection in later life. They explore how meaningful relationships don't have to be romantic, and share practical ways to find joy through new activities, communities, and friendships. The concept of radical acceptance is introduced as a transformative mindset — one that helps us embrace our reality with compassion rather than resistance. The episode also tackles the deeper societal narratives around aging, womanhood, and self-worth, especially the pressure placed on women to define their value through relationships. The Aunties offer a fresh perspective on how to maintain your erotic energy — not just in the sexual sense, but in keeping your sense of aliveness, creativity, and self-expression vibrant. It's a thoughtful, empowering listen for anyone wondering if it's too late to start again. (Spoiler: it's not.)

In this episode, the Agony Aunties address a question about dealing with health anxiety, which started during pregnancy and has persisted for six years. The discussion covers various aspects, including the role of different therapies such as art therapy and somatic EMDR, understanding the impact of early childhood trauma, and how physiological changes after childbirth can amplify fear and anxiety. The Agony Aunties emphasise the importance of awareness, self-compassion, and having open, honest conversations with therapists to evaluate the effectiveness of therapy. They also highlight that change and healing are gradual processes that can't erase past experiences but can help in developing a more compassionate relationship with oneself.

We are highlighting women's leadership and the importance of supporting young girls and women in their leadership development. Wabanaki tribes are matriarchal tribes, centering the ways women lead in families and communities for thousands of years.

In this episode, the Agony Aunties answer a listener's question: What happens to a relationship when one partner does the work — and the other doesn't?  They unpack the emotional and relational impact of personal growth, especially when only one person in the partnership is engaging in therapy or self-development. While growth can create distance, they explain that it doesn't mean the relationship is doomed. What matters most is openness, willingness to engage, and honest communication. They also explore how to assess the real costs and benefits of staying versus leaving, particularly when children are involved. This is rarely a quick decision — it's a long game, and one that requires compassion and courage.  Follow Julia on Instagram for more tips, tools, and conversations about navigating life's challenges: @juliasamuelmbe Learn more about your ad choices.
