What is Notes From Auntie’s Desk?

Notes From Auntie’s Desk is an extension of the quarantine breakout IGTV hit advice show Your Favorite Auntie from Marjon Carlos.

Most folks know me through my work as an in-demand journalist, editor, and public speaker. I’ve written for the likes of Vogue, ELLE, Vanity Fair, Wall Street Journal, i-D…all the girls…and I’ve interviewed your faves. Cardi B. FKA twigs. Mary J. Blige. Serena Williams. Tracee Ellis Ross. (To name a few) With over ten years in the game, I’ve lived and have often felt like an auntie to the kids coming up in the industry—providing advice, humor, love, and feedback that you need.

With YFA, airing every Thursday at 7pm, I’ve channeled that energy into a place where I can finally offer all the advice you’ll actually listen to. I like to think of myself as not as authoritative as your mother or as infantilizing as your big sis—I’m your virtual confidante.

With this here newsletter, I’m bringing you notes from auntie’s desk on pop culture, relationships, politics, race, career, sex, dating, and the best expensive candles to buy. Real life shit.
