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

On this episode… Big ass fibroids! Mad Black people have fibroids and not enough of us are talking about it. I talk about my experience with fibroid surgery, and reproductive health challenges. Then we tear the good cops bad apples theory to shreds. And we put on our square toed shoes and drag the 2000s from the windows to the walls

This week’s hot list: Libations to ourselves, because why not! Frankie Beverly and Maze and the ‘whoaooowhoahoe’! J. details her experience with fibroids, before, during and after surgery. Fertility issues, and how people can be a little weird around that subject. Spiritual gas lighting, good apples, bad apples and something about oranges, boots with the fur, and they finally Cariol Horn her pension and back pay, Eoooww!!!!
