Summary

It's a very special day! Not only is it our co-host Charli Penn's birthday (Woot woot!) but The Chief himself, Jidenna (@jidenna), came through Yes, Girl! (or we came through his hotel lounge) and he graced us with the DOPEST conversation! To say this was a fun and thought-provoking episode is an understatement. We came away with much to consider and some brand new perspective about heritage, unity across The Diaspora, and even some tattoo concepts! For all the ladies who are wondering, Jidenna is VERY clear on a few things: His purpose, the importance of unity across The Diaspora, and what he finds intriguing and attractive about women. Is he ready to date? Well, you’ll just have to listen to him tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth to Cori (@corimurray) and Charli (Twitter: @ManWifeDog, IG: @charlipenn)! PLUS, he tells us the most romantic thing he’s ever done for someone. You'll either crack up or swoon or both! Let us know how you liked the episode AND we want to know where you’ve traveled or would like to travel across The African Diaspora and what you've learned or hope to learn! And as always, use #YesGirlPodcast!
