We're tackling a topic that's all too familiar: the delicate dance between our friends and our significant others. Join us as we dive deep into the murky waters of friend-partner compatibility. Why is it that sometimes the people we love most just can't seem to get along? Are there underlying tensions we're unaware of, or is it simply a clash of personalities? Is it possible to maintain harmony between our significant other and our friends, or are we doomed to forever play referee in our own lives? And who better to help us unravel these complexities than James' best friend/sista friend, Nnekay Fitz-Clarke, a returning guest, librarian, and all-around crafty woman, Nnekay shares her insights and experiences. Plus, we'll find out if there were any exes of James' where she saw the red flags and knew it wouldn't work out.
