Iman and Pierre are back with the second Dating in NYC episode. To discuss, we gathered friends of the show Paulana Lamonier and Austin Williams -- we also asked a new friend to join us, Francis Mothersille. We got into first date etiquette, man weaves, dating people who have children, polyamourous relationships and so much more. It’s a fun one. Tune in!

Iman and Pierre decided to try something new this week! They integrated their love of pop culture with the subject they discuss each week — relationships. From Ciara "leveling up" from Future, and our gendered ideas around spousal support (Wendy Williams was the inspiration for that) to Ayesha Curry's desire to feel wanted by men other than her husband, they tackled your favorite Twitter topics. Journalist/on-air personality, Paulana Lamonier also returned to the show to help them discuss. Tune in!

We dedicated this week’s episode to the HBO series,  Insecure! Of course we needed guests to help us discuss (and argue about) the season. So we enlisted the help of writers, Paulana Lamonier and Austin Williams.

Hello, and welcome to Bri Books podcast. This episode is the season 3 finale. In this episode, we’re going through the five most durable, most enduring moments of season 3. I hope you stick around to the end, where I’ll be sharing what’s next with the podcast. I’d love to know, what are the most durable moments of the season? Tweet me at @bribookspod and using #bribooks on Instagram and Twitter. I can’t wait to ideate with you via the newsletter. 1:38 – These moments from “Bri Books” are as fresh now as they were when I spoke with the guests. They’re the ones I said, “Mmph!” to while I edited, and the ones that made me smile ear-to-ear when I listened back and put the episodes into the world. 2:20 - #5: Ep. 3.2:“From NABJ Convention to First Job” feat. Shauna Beni, on becoming a student-learner during her first job post-college. 3:49 – #4: Ep. 3.4: Wesley Lowery discussing his book, “They Can’t Kill Us All: Ferguson, Baltimore, and a New Era in America’s Racial Justice Movement,” and humanizing the symbolism of the protest can be difficult, but Wesley’s book was one of the most enduring pieces of writing. Also, I can’t wait to read “When They Call You a Terrorist: A Black Lives Matter Memoir” by Patrisse Kahn-Cullors and Asha Bandele. 6:52 – #3: 3.4: “Focus” Feat. Paulana Lamonier. Paulana guest-curated an episode about the book “Focus: The Hidden Driver of Excellence” by Daniel Goleman. The most durable part of this conversation occurred when we discussed how to cultivate the muscle of focus. 10:38 –#2: 3.13: “Top Reads for 2018” feat. Hiwote Getaneh. Hiwote suggested we all read the book “Designing Your Life,” to gain clarity on life and career choices. 13:15 – #1: 3.7: A conversation about the book “Drop The Ball” feat. Tiffany Dufu. What makes this moment the most durable is Tiffany’s insistence that how what matters is knowing the pressures you’re putting on yourself, and the ones you’re allowing others to put on you. Trust me, it was a deep conversation and you can listen here (season 3, episode 7). 16:40 – UPDATES!  Bri Books will be returning April 3, 2018 for season 4, on a biweekly schedule (every other Tuesday, a new episode will drop). But What about the week in between? Well, dear listener, you’re gonna want to be on the newsletter. Bribookspod.com/newsletter. I can’t wait to ideate with you via the newsletter. 17:22 – As we prepare the 4th season, there will be lots of fun projects coming up. I want to share more with you—behind-the-scenes exclusives with authors, sharing early career, and hear what you’re reading. Think of the newsletter as the literary component to this audio book club. It’ll be a fun format you’ll look forward to. Bribookspod.com/newsletter. Of course, I’m on Instagram and Twitter. Use #bribooks. Here’s to season four! As always, Bri Books lives at bribookspod.com, and we’d love to see what you’re reading. Tweet me at @bribookspod and using #bribooks on Instagram and Twitter.  

Today on the show, we have a New York City born and raised millennial who took an impressive leap of faith and used social media in hopes of snagging her dream job at Complex Magazine. Her name is Paulana Lamonier and she is an edu-tainer and freelance journalist and tv personality. She loves educating and entertaining her audience through digital, social media, print and TV talent. In whatever she does, making sure she's telling compelling stories is always at the top of her agenda. Paulana has written for ESPN's The Undefeated, Blavity, LearnVest, Her Agenda, Black Enterprise and more. Her resume is quite impressive as she's interviewed some of entertainment's trendsetters from Tracy Y Oliver, writer of the hit movie Girls Trip to Yvonne Orji from HBO's hit TV show Insecure. And to the best part of her entire resume, Paulana loves Jesus, Beyonce and trap music-in that order! Earlier this month, Paulana needed a job so she created ComplexPleaseHirePaulana.com and asked hundreds of her social media friends to retweet "Hey Complex! You've met the rest. Now here's the best. Please hire my friend Paulana as your next anchor." She also went on to post on her own profile stating: "Since turning 26, I've learned to pursue my dreams with reckless abandon. So, I created a site so Complex can hire me." I immediately said out loud and in my head "Yassssss!" So of course I had to RT and also engage in some convo with the genius behind this interesting hire me campaign. In Episode 28, I sat down with Paulana to discuss her bold move and how launching a hire me campaign has worked to both her advantage and disadvantage.
