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

On this episode…‘Sis - auntie - girl - mama - We get into the politics of Black labels and who can call who what. Then, the Black celebrities trying to sabotage the election, and ‘tu siempre negrita del Bronx’ reminds us that Black girl erasure is the same in English and Spanish.

This week’s hotlist - Let’s have waffles! Small purchases for self-care (you deserve!). “Auntie” and centering women over 40 (it’s not as bad as it sounds, we promise). #EndSARS cuz police violence happens throughout the diaspora. Ice Cube, T.I., Kanye might be the feds. Black women erasure by way of J.Lo…again and mad other ish
