Queen & J. are two womanist race nerds talking liberation, politics, and pop-culture over tea. Drink up!
We reflect on 8 years of Obama Blackness in The White House, the Dakota Access Pipeline, and gentrification. Drink up!
This week’s hot list: What kind of Black is Obama Black?, Is your DJ stereotyping the f!ck out of you?, wtf is happening in Dakota and why is it still happening?, another listener letter on whiteness at work, and we kvetch about gentrification again because they won’t be satisfied until this city ain’t this city anymore.
Tweet us while you listen! @teawithqj #teawithqj
