On episode #309 . . . So, it’s been a long ass minute, but we’re back, well kinda. . . we explain it all in this episode. Still, the womanist race nerds you love, figuring out life in this white supremacist cesspool of a planet. We get into where we have been, how we have been, what kept us away, and what rest means 3 years into a global pandemic. We also dip into an old review we did of the Max documentary Tina vs. her 1993 biopic. The Queen of Rock n Roll passing was heavy, so going back to our discussion of Tina Turner’s life as a Black woman in entertainment, feels good.

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

On this episode… We’re back! We talk about the value of Black ass rest, navigating body image, pandemic fatigue, and mad other sh!t

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

This week’s hot list: It’s been a minute! Who is you Chiron!? We reintroduce ourselves. J. considers forgiveness, fatphobia’s in the air, what pandemic are YOU having cuz…, a lil vaccination talk, friendship & isolation, and fighting the pandemic (not like metaphorically, we want to physically fight the pandemic, and his hoe ass friends)
