Author Tariq Nasheed teaches 'Charm School' girls "The Art of Macking" Author Tariq Nasheed attempted to teach dating lessons at the Charm School prom


News: DC Livers invited to Young & Restless set. Meet the cast starting July 24.

(BlackPressMagazine.com) - Surely no viewer will ever forget it: The night that the Charm School girls went to "prom."

After spending hours with date coach Tariq Nasheed, author of Art of Mackin' how did the girls do? Charm School host Mo'Nique described Brooke a.k.a. Pumkin's actions at the prom with disgust.

"Look how you had to come, sister. You had to come as the whore of Charm School."

Brooke was very upset by the title and later took issue with Mo'Nique claiming "White privilege" as her excuse.

"For blonde, White, blue-eyed girls, I was just a big flirt...right Becky?" Brooke said about her "raunchy" behavior during the Charm School prom.

Brooke wouldn't back down saying, "I'm going to stand strong on this because I represent you [and White girls] on this. Culturally, Black women are more conservative. I was just having fun," she said.

In the exclusive podcast interview, Tariq takes us behind-the-scenes on one of America's hottest reality TV shows and helps us discover who's the Mack? Tariq also discusses whether you're Playing or Getting Played, why golddigging is a good thing and confesses which Charm School girl "impressed" Tariq the most. Plus, listerened learn why he said, "If I was messing with Oprah Winfrey, she'd be Oprah Winfrey Nasheed because she WOULD submit to me."

So, take out your pens and paper because Tariq is teaching us "The Art of Macking."
