Celebrate the Best of 2025 with Yo Aunteas! We're recapping a year of high-tea, heavy-hitting guests, and the representation that matters most to the Black & Brown Queer experience.

Episode Summary: It's been a year of slight changes and massive growth for the Minoritea Report. In this special "Best of Guests" episode, Auntea Kerel, Dawon, and Jerrell shout out the names of everyone who helped keep the ball rolling this year.

We dive back into the highlights of our favorite interviews, including Peppermint, Mayhem Miller, Blossom C. Brown, and DaShawn Usher. We also discuss why we're protecting our peace before the "heavy load" of the 2026 voting year begins. Whether it's discussing the intersection of AI and Black communities or catching up with the creators of Natives: The Series, this episode is a love letter to the Communitea.

Featured in this Episode:

• DaShawn Usher: On activism and his new role at GLAAD.

• Zé & Chino: From OG listeners to guest hosts.

• Ronald & Darnell: The visionaries behind Natives: The Series.
