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

On this episode…Colorism, COLORISM, colourism - that’s what we’re on today. Between a white-passing Meghan Markle being shunned by the royal family to Lovecraft Country putting a whole light-skinned Black person in blackface, we gotta talk about colorism. . . again.
 
This week’s hot list: Lil Nas X is a gem. Idris Elba is giving sexy dad on The Long Run, go watch it. Did Christina M. Jenkins invent weave or weeve? Racism ruins the water system of an entire city, the English monarchy reminds us who’s the realest white supremacist. Lightskinned complacency vs losing your privilege and the bag. And a lil homophobia, some toxic masculinity and mad other ish

On this episode… America’s vaccine rollout is giving structural oppression vibes! With many of America's incarcerated being denied access to the covid vaccine. Also, Black folks valid distrust of the system vs. irresponsible fear-mongering, and Tina Turner is a whole legend, let’s discuss!
