Tea with Queen and J.

Queen & J. are two womanist race nerds talking liberation, politics, and pop-culture over tea. Drink up! We spend most of this episode mapping the coordinates of the "inner city" because where is that sh*t really? Also prison strikes, NY Comic Con, and mental health. Drink up! This week's hot list: NY Comic Con panels and level one wokeness, hip hop & comic book culture, how to support Haiti hurricane relief initiatives, the national prison strike, slave labor to prison labor, Belly (the movie), the role of white women in the white supremacist capitalist patriarchy, presidential debates and the mystery of the "inner city", the illegality of Blackness, and J. gets really personal about depression and mental health Tweet us while you listen! @teawithqj #teawithqj WEBSITE www.TeaWithQueenAndJ.com SOCIAL MEDIA Twitter & Instagram: @TeawithQJ Facebook: www.facebook.com/TeawithQueenandJ Tumblr: teawithqueenandj.tumblr.com EMAIL teawithqueenandj@gmail.com NOTES & EXTRA TEA Pinkies up to Conscious for engineering this episode at Bondfire Radio!
