Summary

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. Hit up Cori (@corimurray) and Charli (IG @charlipenn / Twitter @manwifedog). Be sure to tag #yesgirlpodcast.
