Welcome to the first installment of our series “What It Post to Be,” where we pull back the curtain on what real life looks like behind the flawless photos, perfectly-lit videos, and social-media highlight reels.

In this episode of TMI, Mysonne and Tamika dive into a packed conversation, from Yandy Smith’s new Tubi film and the massive Brandy & Monica “Boy Is Mine” tour, to the chaos surrounding the Epstein files and the wild hypocrisy happening inside the federal government. They break down what’s really going on behind headlines, scandals, politics, and the culture.

Then, we kick off the first feature of our series with a powerful interview with Chyna Russell, founder of Dollhouse Cosmetics. She opens up about entrepreneurship, motherhood, grief, starting a beauty empire from her mother’s kitchen, and what social media never shows: the setbacks, self-doubt, IRS issues, fires, rebuilding, and the fight to create generational legacy. If you've ever looked online and thought someone else has it all figured out—this episode proves that “success” ain’t always what it posts to be.

Real talk. Real struggles. Real wins.
