#144 How To Get Away With Scandal

Queen & J. are two womanist race nerds talking liberation, politics, and pop-culture and over tea. Drink up! On this spot of tea episode… What kind of Black person are you? We explore the evolution of Shonda Rhimes Black women characters, and life after Black Panther. Sh!t is different ya’ll… Sh!t. Is. Different. This week’s hot list: Countdown to SXSW! Community building to get ahead in life. Is the #WakandaSalute the new “nod”? Silent Black communication vs unapologetic dap, from Get Out’s ‘sunken place’ to Wakanda. Writer Shonda Rhimes "Shondaland" has given us 13 years of Black women on television – we explore their evolution from Grey’s Anatomy and that HTGAWM/Scandal cross over, Blackness and different types of Black folk. And as always YOU ARE ENOUGH.
