On this episode… It’s how to get away with murder. The internet shares their disappointment about the Kyle Rittenhouse acquittal. Should we feel a public sadness? What impact does the killing of white protesters have on allyship? And on a much needed lighter note, fun nerd sh!t and a game changing moment in Black hair

Queen & J. are two womanist race nerds dismantling white supremacist patriarchal capitalism one episode at a time. Drink up!

This week’s hot list: Use your PTO, Anime NYC, nerd judgement, Stranger Things, birthdays, Kyle Rittenhouse, white supremacy and the internets reaction, anti-protest laws, synthetic hair’s life cycle and mad other ish
