The Election Episode: Is NOT voting a strategy towards liberation? Oct 30, 2024

In this episode, we dig into why voting or not voting feels different when it’s happening during a genocide. We got a list of questions, What’s behind some of your favorite thinkers' moves during this election season? Could they be closeted voters during this cycle? And how does the need to be liked show up in liberation work? If you’re a Black feminist, womanist, radical, or just here for the liberation convo, this is for you. We don’t spend much time on Trump (or, as we call him, “the demon”)—our lives are bigger than what white men try to do. But we do get into the big names: Mayor Eric Adams (aka NYC’s chief rat), VP Kamala Harris’ biracial identity, Obama, and his cousin Pookie.

Hey Big Head! Jun 08, 2023

On episode #309 . . . So, it’s been a long ass minute, but we’re back, well kinda. . . we explain it all in this episode. Still, the womanist race nerds you love, figuring out life in this white supremacist cesspool of a planet. We get into where we have been, how we have been, what kept us away, and what rest means 3 years into a global pandemic. We also dip into an old review we did of the Max documentary Tina vs. her 1993 biopic. The Queen of Rock n Roll passing was heavy, so going back to our discussion of Tina Turner’s life as a Black woman in entertainment, feels good.

#298 Black In The Office Jun 30, 2021

On this episode… People are returning to work! As the country re-opens, what does it mean for Black people to return to the office? Working remote was cute, but could working in person mean anti-Blackness and antagonism up close?

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

This week’s hot list: Happy pride to our queer sibs and nibs! Doja Cat is a talented yikes! Breaks and vacations are dope so we’re taking one, we’ll be back in August! Working remote vs. returning to the office and why identity plays a role. What the data says about who’s excited to return and who isn't, is work culture actually just racism? Has remote work served as an equalizer? Do we even have to go back to the office? How to care for ourselves as many of us transition to in-person work, and more!

#201 Doing Hair In The Living Room (with Money) Apr 09, 2019

Queen & J. are two womanist race nerds talking liberation, politics, and pop-culture over tea. Drink up! On this episode… We indulge in one of our favorite past times, watching TV and tearing it to shreds. Full of mixed feelings about the hit Hulu series ‘Shrill’, we ask does Black body image matter on a show about body image? Is this show low key/high key about white men? Or the 53%? We’re like joking but super serious. This week’s hot list: Watch Shrill on Hulu if you’re feeling froggy, dating, attractiveness & body image, where did Fran get her rompers tho? Black friends & emotional labor, fatphobia is not limited to “straight” folks, white men love camera time and white writers love giving it to them and mad other sh*t.

#172 No Wig Shall Hold Me Down Sep 18, 2018

Queen & J. are two womanist race nerds talking liberation, politics, and pop-culture over tea. Drink up! On this episode… Are Black British actors “taking” Black American roles or is white supremacy just doing what it do? Black trans women are being killed left and right and the media is acting like it’s their fault. And we knew Janet Jackson was blacklisted but do you know the white man’s name who did it? It’s never a conspiracy, always a whole ass white man fvcking with whole ass Black people. This week’s hot list: J. isn’t using her feelings journal for her mental health, but you should. Listen to Marsha’s Plate podcast and stop being corny. Queen is queer ya’ll. Trans women are desired, loved, and not studying your crusty, stankin ass. There might be a serial killer in Jacksonville, Florida. Does anybody care tho? We’re getting a Harriet Tubman movie with Cynthia Erivo! Maybe we should be excited, or maybe we should just fight.

Queen & J. are two womanist race nerds talking liberation, politics, and pop-culture over tea. Drink up! On this episode… Does white supremacist patriarchal capitalism make you feel good about yourself? Do you affirm your existence by comparing yourself to others? Are you a dumb bitch? Find out on the next Dragon Ball Z. This week’s hot list: We’re gonna say Calvin repeatedly, but we promise we mean Elvin. Bronx nail prices are self-care, Maxine Waters is Wakandan, we’re not for the diasporadical wars but don’t try it, passport protocol, the white woman wellness racket and don’t let white men tell you what you can’t do (they don’t be knowing). Are you participating in hate speech against whole entire groups of your own people via classism and the other isms or are you just a hater or both? Let ghetto girls and all the girls live. Serena Williams is tennis leave her the f*ck alone. Nike been on their white supremacist patriarchal capitalism. Also everything bagels are delicious so there’s that.

#10 Don't Be Alarmed, We're Negroes: The Accidental Episode Aug 15, 2014

After a long summer siesta, Queen and J. return with an episode that we didn't plan to record. On the heels of the most recent killings of unarmed black persons Eric Garner, Michael Brown, Ezell Ford, and whoever they shoot between now and whenever you read this, Queen and J. join the National Moment of Silence #NMOS14 in NYC's Union Square. When the moment of silence turned into a moment to march in the streets we thought it important to bring you up to speed immediately. No prep, no planning, just Tea with Queen and J. (We heard that... yes, there's usually planning). We missed you. Some show notes!

The laughter is sonically brutal this episode as we record while utterly exhausted.

We discuss the backlash of the whiplash inducing Jeremy Meeks photo, and the thinking behind it. J. gets called "Howard Stern" by an angry author who's sensitive about her shit, Queen talks "ratchet Monday" television, and even though we've never been more tired we give some time to the Central Park Five and their recent $40 million dollar settlement 25 years after being falsely convicted of rape as teenagers.
