Morphology

kiki + session

The overall meaning is compositionally derived: 'session' denotes a meeting or gathering and 'kiki' (when known) denotes an informal, gossiping/social party, so a 'kiki session' is simply a session of that kind. Note that 'kiki' is slang and culturally specific (so many learners may not know that constituent), but under the instruction that the learner knows both words the MWE is transparently interpretable.

Etymology

The noun kiki session may come from gay and drag parties where a 'kiki' was a small, relaxed get-together for joking, gossip, and dancing. So a kiki session today means an informal meet-up to laugh, share stories, and relax.
