In this episode of Stranger Fruit, Donovan sits down with Queen, one half of the dynamic podcast duo Tea with Queen and J, and the creator of Miss Vixen. Join us as we delve deep into the intricate relationships between the Black, Jewish, and Arab communities. Queen shares her unique perspective on anti-Semitism, Zionism, and the often overlooked anti-Black racism within the Arab world. We also discuss the impact of social media in amplifying these issues and the fear of losing career opportunities when speaking out against oppression. This conversation is filled with deep insights and powerful reflections on coalition-building and the importance of standing together in the fight for justice.
Next week, we continue with part 2 of our conversation with Queen, where we dive into the fear of speaking up for Palestinians and the power of media and its impact on the state of the world today.
