On this episode… The girls are grieving! We talk about navigating death, grief and loss and everything that comes with it. Then in honor of spooky season we revisit blackface for the holidays, whether or not J. was a coon in 2017, why ni**as give Queen heebee jeebees and how working at a cool job while Black can still be wack. 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 on sight for death! Funerals and shit people say at funerals, high value memories, Halloween and spooky season tings, a bad blackface take, learning in public, an Aaliyah tribute, colorism in language, Black on Black hair crime, and working at a “cool” company while Black EPISODE TIMESTAMPS Libations for our ancestors: 5:24 Donation Libations: 20:06 Affirmations: 24:54 How we living: 26:16 Colorism in costuming & language: 57:16 A bad blackface take: 1:00:32 Moment in Black Hair touching: 17:01 Get away from my desk: 1:27:28 Tweet us while you listen! @teawithqj or use #teawithqj and add #podin on Twitter to help others discover Tea with Queen and J. podcast!
