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

On this episode…Knotless braids, kinky twists, lace fronts, and crochet styles.

This week’s hot list: Black Veterinarians and pet lovers. The Netflix documentary “In Our Mothers Gardens” brings us joy. We go in about modern Black hair history, innovation, and installation. Black girls from the Bronx playing tennis, mental health, and boundaries. White supremacy in sports, and how they love changing the damn rules.
