On this episode… bell hooks, one of the greatest thinkers of our time recently passed away leaving us to explore her legacy and its impact on our intersections of Black womanhood. Our friend and activist Diamond Stylz joins J. this week to discuss Blackademia, the reality tv icon Nene Leakes (it’s important!), and to reflect on Insecure and an era of television that will be referenced for years to come.

Queen & J. are two womanist race nerds dismantling white supremacist patriarchal capitalism one episode at a time. Drink up!

This week’s hot list: we fvcking survived 2021, pay Black Transwomen Inc., we bingeing The Witcher, possible awkward C*sby show reference, bell hooks, street feminism, “femininity”, Laverne Cox, “problematic” but “important” questions, Nene Leakes and navigating grief & trauma on the blogs (she in these streets with a new boo all quick!), that Insecure glow up, Diamond is tired of Lawrence’s shit, J. might be lowkey #teamlawrence and ready to fight Nathan, and more about Kelli

#308 bell hooks, The Blogs, and Insecure

Two hundred fifty years of slavery. Ninety years of Jim Crow. Sixty years of separate but equal. Thirty-five years of racist housing policy. Until we reckon with our compounding moral debts, America will never be whole.

Challenge worry with tea: Skullcap!
Scutellaria is a genus of North American flowering plants in the mint family. They are known commonly as skullcaps. Skullcap is used for insomnia, anxiety, and paralysis caused by strokes. It is also used for fever, high cholesterol, epilepsy, nervous tension, allergies, skin infections, inflammation, and spasms. It works on things that cause inflammation and can induce sleep. Especially good if you experience your anxiety in your body (cant sit still, toss and turn, jaw clenching, pacing, fidgeting). Works on our central nervous system relaxing us.
