Queen & J. are two womanist race nerds talking liberation, politics, and pop-culture over tea. Drink up! On this episode… Queen is off mic for the first 8 minutes because we’re ridiculous. We discuss why New Edition is the glue holding many of us together; Queen shares her experiences as a Black Muslim erased in America; and J. asks is it you or is it gas lighting? This week’s hot list: New Edition for life (we discuss the biopic from about minute 11 to 32), don’t gaslight me bro, google gaslighting if you need to, #NoMuslimBan, is this really about immigration?, the bootstrappers are back, get out of our DM’s please (you don’t even go here), erasure vs. erasers do you know the difference or nah? America was not founded on whatever you keep trying to tell us it was founded on, Jessica Williams gets attacked by white feminism, and remember Black Muslims?
