Minoritea Report

Auntea Jerrell is officially a married man! Get your cups ready as he shares all the details from his wedding—the pre-ceremony nerves, the intimate celebration, and the hilarious moment his new husband immediately started calling him "husband" 87 times in a row. Jerrell also shares the two major reasons they decided to tie the knot now (hint: one involves starting a family!).

The celebration leads directly into a powerful Ask Yo Aunteas segment: How important are relationship titles? The Aunteas have very strong feelings about the difference between being introduced as "my friend" versus "my partner" or "my husband."

Plus, Auntea Dawon reports back from his "integration phase" trip to London to visit his man (and delivers a scathing review of British food), and the Aunteas debate the messy, new "Post My DL" TikTok trend. Oh, and did yall watch the No Limit vs. Cash Money Verzuz?

If this episode is appearing twice, it's because the Spotify feed was acting up. Apologies and hey... you get to hear Brian Sims, twice! - Yo Aunteas!

Yo Aunteas are joined once again by Brian Sims — activist, former Pennsylvania State Representative, and CEO of Agenda PAC.

Brian breaks down how Agenda PAC is using AI to identify and defeat the most dangerous bigots in America, why local elections matter more than ever, and how queer communities can reignite political hope amid burnout and misinformation. The group gets real about why the Democratic party refuses to "play dirty", and Brian delivers a sharp call to action for allies—especially white gay men—who have been conspicuously silent while our rights are under attack.

Of course, the Aunteas also serve the cultural tea, breaking down the drama behind Brandy walking off stage during the long-awaited Brandy & Monica tour. Finally, Brian returns for "Curiositea Part Two" , sharing his hobbies, his Drag Race Mount Rushmore , and the sweet story behind the last song he played .

(Dawon is out this week, but sends his love from London! )

So, get them cups readyyyy!!

Get your cups ready, Communitea! For our monumental 350th episode, we are absolutely thrilled to welcome the incredibly talented Broadway star, Taurean Everett!

Taurean opens up about his journey from a sports-driven family in Wichita, Kansas to the bright lights of Broadway, starring in the 10-time Tony-nominated smash hit musical, 'Death Becomes Her.', what it means to represent Black queer excellence on stage, and how he's learned that being himself is his superpower.

Oh, and Taurean gets real about the Michelle Williams Tony nomination snub ("They slept on our sis")!

Plus, we talk D'Angelo's legacy, get Taurean's Mount Rushmore of Broadway shows, and settle the Beyoncé vs. Janet debate in Curiositea!

This week on Minoritea Report, Yo Aunteas are joined by Shana from Bad Queers!

We dig into the fallout of Charlie Kirk's death, the weaponization of God in politics, and how media erases Black pain while centering white fragility. Shana brings wisdom on navigating the "growth vs. gap" mindset—reminding us how hard it can be for high-achieving Black queer folks to pause and celebrate progress.

Of course, it wouldn't be Minoritea Report without joy: we break down Cardi B's flawless rollout of Am I The Drama, the internet's collective thirst for Kelly Rowland, and the Go Birds energy that makes Philly unforgettable. Oh, and Lesbians DO have Sugar Mamas!

In this episode, we're talking about:

• The Aftermath of Charlie Kirk's Death

• The Underreported Lynching of Trey Reed

• Cardi B's "Am I The Drama?" Album Rollout & Kelly Rowland Interview

• Kerel's Vulnerable Moment with Body Dysmorphia & Fitness

• The "Growth vs. Gap" Mindset for Creatives

• Why the 2025 Coachella Lineup is a Major Flop

• Lesbian Sugar Mamas: They're Real!

• The Latest Beyoncé & Jay-Z Internet Drama

US Open 2025 is in the books, and we're joined by Myles David — Sports Illustrated contributor and host of Tuned Into Tennis Podcast— for a sharp, funny, and deeply informed wrap-up. Yo Aunteas Kerel, Dawon & Jerrell dig into Coco Gauff and Naomi Osaka's momentum, Taylor Townsend's mindset and media moment, and whether the men's hype cycles (Alcaraz, Sinner, Tiafoe, Fils, Felix) match reality. We also talk about Althea Gibson's 75th anniversary and whether the tournament truly met the moment for Black tennis history.

Myles shares his journey from Louisiana to tennis journalism, why representation in media rooms matters, and how community changes the way we experience the sport.

They also touch on the latest in pop culture, with hot takes on Mariah Carey's VMA performance and Jerrell's adventures at a Bad Bunny concert in Puerto Rico.
