Description

On this episode… Yo, what the fvck is Juneteenth! We talk about what federal recognition means for a traditionally Black holiday, who should celebrate and who shouldn’t, and the OG Opal Lee!



Queen & J. are two womanist race nerds talking liberation, politics, and pop culture over tea. Drink up!



This week’s hot list: Beach trips, new projects, and a lil‘ sunburn. Libating listeners cause ya’ll the best, celebrating Juneteenth as kids in NYC, the federal holiday Opal Lee asked for, anti-Black domestic terrorism, Juneteenth & critical race theory. Mississippi and Arizona really tried it! Who can celebrate and profit from Juneteenth and who can’t? Black people around the country have been acknowledging Juneteenth for mad long, but it’s also okay if it’s new to you. And, once again, beach trips!
