In Episode 2 of If Not For My Girls, the ladies turn up the flavor—and the feels—with a floating brunch that brings connection and culture to the forefront. With a private chef serving up a dish passed down from Bahja’s mom, the OMG Girlz and Reginae Carter reflect on their roots and how far they’ve come.

Sips of Coca-Cola® bring refreshment as they cool off poolside, laugh, and dive into real talk about womanhood, identity, and stepping into their soft era. This episode is a warm reminder that pouring into yourself and your sisterhood is always time well spent.
