Tea with Queen and J.

Queen & J. are two womanist race nerds talking liberation, politics, and pop-culture over tea. Drink up! On this episode… America’s vaccine rollout is giving structural oppression vibes! With many of America's incarcerated being denied access to the covid vaccine. Also, Black folks valid distrust of the system vs. irresponsible fear-mongering, and Tina Turner is a whole legend, let’s discuss! This week’s hot list: Routines, smoothies and Spring! SlayTV’s new queer web-series ‘For The Boys’ is our jam. Tina Turner’s life as Black woman in entertainment, and the HBO documentary Tina vs. her 1993 biopic ‘What’s Love Got To Do With’, racism and ageism, and how River Deep Mountain High is a bop! COVID-19 vaccines and the prison industrial complex, who deserves to live and who doesn’t. Black ass covid anxiety (TUSKEGEE!), fears, vaccine conspiracies, jokes, an adorable Daniel Kaluuya in an awkward ass SNL sketch. *Content warning: during our conversation about Tina Turner we do reference domestic abuse though we do not detail any incidents of violence* EPISODE TIMESTAMPS Libations: 3:16 Donation Libations: 7:43 Affirmations: 10:19 The Tina documentary: 12:51 Pay Black Women: 45:00 Incarcerated populations and COVID-19 vaccines: 47:25 Vaccine misinformation: 1:05:45 SNL Vaccine joke fail: 1:18:00 Tweet us while you listen! #teawithqj @teawithqj and add #podin on Twitter to help others discover Tea with Queen and J. podcast!
