Auntie Kiki to the rescue

I first became aware of Auntie Kiki on TikTok. Her content is fresh, fun, and entertaining. I am an avid reader of her books (delightfully smutty) and a dedicated listener to her podcast. Her advice on navigating various social situations, relationships, and etiquette are top notch.
