We keep scoring conversations with legends lately and we ain't even mad at it! This week, Cori (@corimurray), Charli (Twitter: @ManWifeDog, IG: @charlipenn), and guest host, Julee “Global” Wilson (@MissJulee) had THEE best time with Gospel royalty Bebe Winans (@bebewinans)! We were able to tell him all the ways his music has changed our lives and learn why he says his new album - Need You (out now) is his best body of work. Between all the laughs Mr. Winans offered the best nuggets of inspiration for the tough times and how he lost 80 pounds without dieting! Bonus: Bebe left us with some of his most cherished memories with the beloved Luther Vandross and Whitney Houston. And don't worry - we kept it classy while explaining what exactly a “bearded bae” is and how he fits the profile. The ladies are AFTER him on The ‘Gram and his beard needs its own IG account, ok?! Click play and get to listening! Also, let us know what you think using #YesGirlPodcast!
