#168 Come Get Ya'll Lil Friend
Queen & J. are two womanist race nerds talking liberation, politics, and pop-culture over tea. Drink up!
On this episode… This week on tea with queen and j. Is it important to have a Black section? and fuck does that mean? Then we remember Aretha Franklin, and get into some diasporadical foolishness, misunderstanding, voter suppression, and ghosting.
This week’s hot list: Safe Black brunch, Queen’s going to SXSW (maybe), What is African American lit(erature) and when’s the last time you were at a library? #1 Aretha Franklin is body positivity goals, #2Who should NOT participate in her tribute, and #3 Whose opinion we did not fvcking ask for. Racism & ableism join forces to suppress votes in Georgia. Afropunk swaps 3 Smiths & a possible for one Pusha T, when somebody who ghosted you has the nerve to still be alive, and mad other ish.
