The Cooler - Aminatou Sow of ‘Call Your Girlfriend’

We chat with Aminatou about everything from the wage gap and how to negotiate a competitive salary to Adnan, Solange and butt selfies.

This week, we’re joined by Aminatou Sow, one half of the super popular podcast “Call Your Girlfriend” and also our new favorite person.

We talked about the origins of her podcast, which you should really be listening to:

Amina helped us settle some burning pop culture debates like “Did Adnan do it?” and “Why did Solange go Mortal Kombat on Jay Z in that elevator?”

And we capped things off with a song of Amina’s choice: Justin Bieber’s “What Do You Mean?”:
