Keep On Truckin Bay-Bay (feat. Nicaila of Side Hustle Pro)

On this episode… Being twice as good is fvcking exhausting! We lean into Black mediocrity and the freedom to show your ass at work (metaphorically!). We celebrate the joys of sex toys and cannabis. Explore the state-sanctioned mistreatment of Haitian migrants and what’s happening on the Mexican side of the border. Then troll baiting, and J. finds a reason to talk about Blues Clues because that shit was delightful!

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

This week’s hot list: R. Kelly is finally going to jail, but we want restorative street justice. Affirming rest, abundance and stability. What our parents taught us about working while Black, addressing microaggressions, and the perfect work turn up. #BluesClues25, Michael K. Williams, and does 50 cent have a soul, or friends?

#303 It's Giving Anti-Black

This week’s episode of #TheFriendZone is brought to you by Target.

Dustin and Assanté left their homes in their early 20s (Detroit + Atlanta) in pursuit of their dreams. Fran left her home in her late 30s (NYC) in pursuit of peace. We'll share what leaving home is like - from deciding where to go, to what to take and what to leave. Moving trucks. Finding homes in unfamiliar cities and neighborhoods. Finding work. Leaving old friends and loves. Leaving family. Making new friends. And starting life from scratch as an adult in a new city.
