Queen & J. are two womanist race nerds talking liberation, politics, and pop-culture over tea. Drink up!

On this episode… You’re young, you’re Black, you’re successful – but are you a gentrifier too? Is that possible? What’s happening in Sierra Leone, and why don’t we know? And the father of modern gynecology mutilated and tortured Black women, so of course someone built him a statue! WTF?

This week’s hot list: J. is confused & Queen is annoyed by the solar eclipse, Elmo meme’s and ableism, Instagram as self-care, Afropunk approaches, how enslaved Black women were mutilated for medical research, a racist monument in Spanish Harlem (how Sway?), we know what gentrification is, but what is it reeeally? This week’s episode is a free format “Spot of Tea” episode. Same quality, less formatting.
