Go Off, Sis

For the first time ever the Basquiat family has opened the estate’s vault and given us the opportunity to see hundreds of never before seen works from the late great Jean-Michel Basquiat. Led by his sisters Jeanine Heriveaux and Lisane Basquiat, the Jean-Michel King Pleasure exhibit showcases rare and never before seen pieces by the late artist. In a live, intimate conversation with Chelsea cohost of Go Off, Sis at The King Pleasure Exhibit in Los Angeles, Jeanine and Lisane open up about their decision to share more of Jean-Michel’s work, the legacy he left behind, their family and ancestry, and how they’ve carried the legacy forward in their own right as sisters, mothers, and entrepreneurial Black women.

It's our winter finale episode, and we're closing out this season on a real note. In this conversation, we dive into some deep territory, talking about family planning, dealing with that other F word (fertility), and WHY doctors still don’t believe Black women when we say we’re in pain. We're all in different places in our own journeys and so we're asking – is motherhood for us? Has this everlasting Panda Express changed our views on parenting or shifted the way we thought about how our own parents did it? And if we do decide to build a family, who do we trust to do it with? With our special guest this week, fibroids & infertility survivor turned Nutritionist, Coach Gessie, we navigate the sometimes confusing, often overwhelming questions that come when talking about our reproductive health and she tells us why we should always listen to your B.A.E. – no, not that one!
