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… Black people got hobbies! But should every hobby turn into income? Do we even really know what a hobby is? If you don’t make a living wage, should you have a hobby? Are we for real about to explore hobbies this whole episode? Yep!

This week’s hot list: A poppin, health summer, rest and family time. All things Black people and hobbies! Childhood hobbies, the history of hobbies & leisure amongst Black Americans, monetizing your hobby, how to talk to your friends about their hobby (yes, we’re serious lol), hobbies & capitalism, who deserves fun and leisure, tweet streets, and mad other sh!t
