Queen & J. are two womanist race nerds talking liberation, politics, and pop-culture over tea. Drink up! On this episode… We put our womanist race nerd spin on the Kwanzaa principles (what are thooooooose!) and show you how and why to incorporate that shit into your everyday life, we’ve got a moment in Black hair for the bearded people in your life, and how to build community in a world full of people who don’t know how to act. This week’s hot list: working with toxic whiteness, Kwanzaa, buy black, idie comics, beard butter is good for you, Janice Dotson, the Sandra Bland act, Donors choose, buy them kids ipads, Black elitism, everybody can’t say “sis” sis, and more!
