Tea with Queen and J.

Queen & J. are two womanist race nerds talking liberation, politics, and pop-culture over tea. Drink up! Black folks and sunblock & everybody and periods. Drink up! This weeks hot list: periods, periods, periods. What do you know about periods? What were you taught? We discuss the joys and horrors of menstruation, and the bloody butt mystery... Also the beach, being Black & sunburnt, and native NYers in Long Island.
