She's played everyone from Yvette and Baby Boy to Catherine Johnson and Hidden Figures,

and of course, the one and only cookie lion.

But to Raji P. Henson isn't just a powerhouse on screen.

She's also been a bold voice for mental health, self-worth, and protecting your peace. Today, she's bringing that

voice to our conversation, talking love and relationships. Her advice for me as a working mom,

early side hustles, and what it means when a story led by a black woman takes over the world.

Let's get into it, because baby, this is Gicky Palmer.

No matter what we're doing in the car, just chilling, popo Amazon music, sit back and listen. Life, love, sex, science, covering it all, especially the bad because money always involved. No matter what it is, we're going to make it make sense. Nothing else to do but kick it with the homies and key. So grab you a drink and a snack you enjoy and get into the vibe that only one this is- You know it's your girls!

Baby, this is, this is Kiki.

Baby, this is Kiki Poma, yeah.

This episode is presented in partnership with Airbnb,

where summer adventures feel like

a home away from home.

Speaking of unforgettable moments, well, you'll see.

I am so happy to have one of my favorite burgls of all time in the building. Yay, thanks for having me. Oh, my gosh. We always are seeing each other out and about. I don't know what we are. Somebody's concert. I mean, I just feel like we always sing each other out. I've been seeing running into you since you were like 16. The first time was it the Mike Epps comedy show. It was Mikeaps because I I couldn't remember if it was Mike or Kevin Hart. You were eating that Bob at that time. Yes. And I was like, this baby knows comedy. Look at her checking out the comedy shows. Girl. You were 16. Yeah. I kept my eyes on you ever since. I was literally like, I'm sitting next to Daragi, B. I was living my best life, and I feel the same way right now. Thank you for coming. Now, I'm excited to get into these pre-show pull-up questionnaire to see what type of energy we're giving. And I'm already loving the first thing. Today I'm giving Scaparrelli because, yes, fabulous, with the side of Zara. We love Zara.

I do highs and lows. That's how you keep from going broke. Man, we was just talking about how this shopping will literally have you in a choco. But I feel like we should be able to write that off. It's a part of our career. Yeah, they changed it a couple of years back. It has to be like costuming. Isn't that crazy? Like you can't be able to wear it on the street.

But it's like I am a costume.
