Full Episodes of Tea with Queen and J.

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?

Queen's got an opinion about The Queen (Latifah that is); and we talk K-squared, yeah... that K-squared.  Lastly, we know that Mindy from 'The Mindy Project' is a doctor but we call her a lawyer, and last-lastly we want you to check out the Nashville, TN based non-profit organization www.street-works.org.
