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

On this episode… Do you kiss your dog in the mouth? Is your cat sitting on the counter while you cook? We’re talking about Black people and pets! Sh!t we do, s!it we don’t do, history on Black animal lovers and more.

This week’s hot list: fresh flowers all up and through the crib, CGI that petty in Army of the Dead, Black pet ownership, pet rules, Did your grandparents have pets? Racism in policies for animal ownership because everything is dripping in racism, we pay a future Black vet (animal not military), scammers that play in our faces, and why we not voting for Andrew Yang.
