I never really talk about this but I feel like I can be myself with y'all. One of my biggest struggles has been controlling my weight. I know that some of you may be judging me by saying this, because there are people a lot heavier than me. I realize this and I'm not trying to make a mockery out of it. However, I only want to loose around twenty pounds and I haven't been able to do it for quite a while.
So when I saw all of the questions submitted about dieting and healthy eating I was VERY excited.
I mean lets be honest--it just seems like a lot more of a financial struggle to eat healthy. McDonalds finances with a Panera Bread mindset can be difficult.
Luckily during this episode of the Ask Now Show I sat down with a fitness guru and trainer Akiem Jones. In addition to being a professional he is one of my great friends and I knew he'd be honest and educated in his answers.
Check out our interview below. As promised we gave you the real, all the questions you WANT to ask.
Okay so there's not too much to say about this episode, it speaks for itself. A lot of the #AskNow questions I received were about relationships, sex, and dating as a young adult.
So I took the amazing opportunity to speak with Frenchie Davis and discuss some of your questions. Frenchie is a radio host and sexologist who keeps it very real to say the least. Her bold, educated, and honest conversation answered a lot of questions that I think many of us are too afraid to ask.
We discussed marriage, long distance relationships, hook-up culture, and the power of communicating in relationships.
Some things you will agree with--some you may not. Take a listen to our conversation and let me know your thoughts!
First of all for those of you who don't know, the Ask Now show will begin airing on DCTV and DCTV.com in January. However, people who are subscribed will get to see the interviews before they air via AskKirbyCarroll.net on Youtube! SO if you're reading this I'm guessing you are one of those people!

Anywho...
When I was younger and I got in trouble my parents had a few things they would do to punish me for my actions. However, by far the worst one was taking my stereo. I literally felt like I couldn't function without it. My music heads understand---its like how do I work, how do I sleep, how do I pregame!? It can be tragic.
So of course when I was looking through #AskNow questions I had to pick the one that related to music. A Howard student emailed in and asked, "do you think music is influencing our youth positively or negatively?" I had a convo with Sunni and the City, a radio host and socialite in the DC area to help me adequately and honestly answer this question.
Sunni is someone who is really dedicated to the community and women empowerment but she also really likes hip-hop and pop culture. It was a pleasure talking to her and I feel like she gave a very thoro and honest answer to the question. She also gave us a little background into what its like being a female radio host in one of the biggest markets in the country.
I recommend this interview to any conscious person, music lover, individual interested in working in media, or resident of the DMV area.
