#209 It's Above Me

Queen & J. are two womanist race nerds talking liberation, politics, and pop-culture over tea. Drink up! On this episode… Are you using progressive language while doing regressive sh!t? One of our faves addresses sexual assault allegations in a questionable way on a questionable platform and we question all that shit and more. This week’s hot list: Ms.Vixen podcast, #ItsAboveMe, Jason Mitchell played himself, sexual harassment on set, The Chi, Lena Waithe is a zaddy, Black women on The Breakfast Club (why?), Charlachew, activism in media, buzzwords, Times Up, Me too, social capital, leverage, who holds power and who takes responsibility, Black women at work, misogynoir, infantilizing grown ass men in life and in media, y mas!
