Two Saved Queens

The title says it all. We got a lot of prayers this week especially for the dearly departed Kanye. We discuss the start...and end of his presidential campaign, Miss DJT finally changing her tune on coronavirus and the reality that our democracy is truly at risk with what's happening in Portland. I guess this is America now. Lot of Bad News this week but stay for the Barbershop Talk, our final thoughts on Miss Jada Pinkett Smith, and Black Mental Health.

For the start of your week, Ms. Deveraux guides you through the major news stories you should know in 5 minutes or less.

This week Miss Deveraux takes over the hosting seat as we talk about how Black Hetero Men just can't get it together, why that is and those Brave and Unproblematic Few who we can stan. We discuss some alarming trends globally that we should take note of for the upcoming election, the commuting of Political Consultant and Trump Ally, Roger Stone including some T on his alleged predilections for a certain type of pornstar. Then we head to Florida to talk about their complete loss of the battle with the Rona and Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos' embarrassing attempt to get the children back to school. "Kids have to get back to school!"...even if they or their family might die. Hang on tight gurls, we got work to do today!

We've got a lot of firsts this episode. Our first time trying out a new set up, our first time recording on the road and our first guest! Writer, Producer, Comedian and Friend of the show Cameron Johnson joins us to talk through Kanye's bid for Presidency, getaways over 4th of July weekend and Miss Rona coming out to play in Florida. Then Mr. Johnson tells us what life is like as a working aka PAID writer. From his humble beginnings calling out Anti-Blackness on Dating Apps to full fledged writer doing groundbreaking stories on EMPIRE along with a few TV shows of his own under development. We end with his thoughts on what "The Business" aka Hollywood can do materially for the BLM movement. That's right we're getting all types of Black Hollywood up in here. 

Get your passport ready hunties! We're traveling all over this week. We start talking about Beyoncé, Miss Aretha (RIP) and Miss Deveraux's class action plans and we end with our favorite and least favorite travel destinations. Along the way we talk about Miss DJT confirming what we all know, she is both a White Supremacist and a Traitor. We also look at recent elections and the Black Gay Future of the Democratic Party.

Whew. It's a busy news week here at Two Saved Queens. Miss Deveraux's got stories about pyramid schemes and her first march for the revolution. Then we turn to updates on the Justice in Policing Act and yet another Trump firing. We give space and honor Elijah McClain before we end on the Good News like the a movement toward Capitalizing the B in Black and Black Hollywood coming together to make a stand. Finally, Miss Deveraux takes a look into her crystal ball to predict the future and you might just be surprised at what she sees.

Oooh, it's a moment y'll. Our first episode in a while that's under an hour. But don't worry, we don't short change you as we discuss the recent gains that we are getting from Black Lives Matter protest, the police continuing to give us and reason to stay out there and some truly Good News in the form of the Supreme Court's landmark ruling on LGBTQ workers' protection. We also circle back to Insecure to talk about that finale and Miss Deveraux gives Miss Malekai some dating advice from an unlikely source.

As you can tell from the title even Saved Queens sometimes get a bit worn out. This week we're playing it fast and loose as we talk about everything from Zombies, who can use the N-Word, to our mutual crush on Hasan Minhaj. Somehow we also find the energy to discuss the new Justice in Policing Act along with the language around the "Defund The Police" movement. Enjoy the ride!
