#280 Black Girl Hoarders

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… Are you a Black girl hoarder? We get into the shame of being Black, femme, and messy and the disrespect for domestic labor. Then Ottawa University goes private on Twitter after a racist moment in Black hair. And it’s Black History Month! Let the institutional capping begin! This week’s hotlist - Snowed in, in NYC, pantsless on zoom, Girl Scout cookie season! Is hoarding really a big deal? Class privilege, gender and domestic labor, outsourcing vs. slavery, shame & cleanliness, checking our privilege before posting on social media, Black hair in Kansas, and once again braids are political. More voter suppression in America, Fvck yea!
