Hi Queens! So if you're a fan of mine from my BuzzFeed days, then I'm sure you know that this is Pookie a.k.a Eli.Pookie and I go way, way, back at BF, and fun fact, he was actually an intern for one of my shoots. You can find him on social media under the handle, @itselivazquez . So if you didn't know this about us, the internet has pretty much been rallying for us to date each other ever since we first appeared on screen as a romantic couple in my very first spoken word video for BuzzFeed.And listen, I get that it was a hot kiss (all of our co-workers certainly did not let us forget LOL)...Also I'm dying at the fact that I just realized Zack wrote "Zack Is Dope" in his virtual laughing fit LOL. But I figured that our tumultuous marriage for a week video would be all the proof that the internet needed to say that this just wasn't meant to be.And for a time, I think it was. But then as DJ Khaled would say, “we played ourselves,” when we took a DNA compatibility test in the hopes of trolling the internet, and we pretty much ended up trolling ourselves.I still think our kits were hacked. It's like Carla knew what was destined for our future... kinda. And even though we still refuse to date, after working on all of these different videos together, we had to at least admit that we made a pretty good team... Or at least I had to say it, let Eli object to it, and then let him come to the same conclusion a day later as if he was the one to initially come to this conclusion... #RealTalk.
Eli has helped me shoot or been a part of some of my favorite BF videos like Men Take "Birth Control Pills" For A Month, What Is Happening To The Women Of Ciudad Juarez, and I Stopped Having Sex For A Year. So we decided to start a podcast called Real Talk Love Therapy, where we hope to create a productive space of discussion to challenge traditionally held views about love, and redefine what it means to be a millennial navigating love, sex, and relationships from a POC perspective.For episode 1, we figured we'd have to address our most frequently asked question, “why aren't we dating?”
I thought it was a pretty simple answer (LOL) but don't worry, there is certainly more to the episode than this. So we hope you'll join us on 5/31 when it launches! You can find it on iTunes and SoundCloud, and behind-the-scenes clips of our recording sessions on the Yes Queen YouTube channel.Don't miss out! Subscribe by clicking the button below!
