EP12: Everybody Sh*ts (Voicing Vulnerability)
Wednesday Jul 08, 2020
Wednesday Jul 08, 2020
This week the babes get (more) vulnerable and remind you that everyone has their own sh*t. We also speculate about the Smiths open marriage, give Junglepussy her flowers, and talk about all the white people voicing characters of color. Oh, and we bring the mindful moment back, as a treat.

Wednesday Jun 24, 2020
The past few weeks have been a bit heavy. For this session, Shawny brings on his best friend, Charles Hayes IV, to talk Black Boy Joy and dive into some pop culture. What is Joy? Is it inherently tied to spirituality? Is being a Barb mental illness? Thank you for supporting us and listening for ten episodes. TEN! 10! Double digits! Grateful for you, grateful to be here. Please continue to support by subscribing, sharing, and giving us a 5 star review.

EP009: Public Policy and Personal Power with Amanda Manjarrez
Wednesday Jun 17, 2020
Wednesday Jun 17, 2020
At QBT, we believe that telling your story is a radical act. For this week's session, we are joined by the incredibly talented and racial equity leader, Amanda Manjarrez. Currently serving as the Director of Public Policy and Government Affairs at Chalkboard Project, Amanda talks to us about the importance of stepping into our own power and the impacts of public policy for communities of color and queer people. The babes discuss resiliency in this work and supporting younger queer folks as we imagine a better future. We chat about Kneeling Nancy, J. Karen Rowling, and all the racists losing their jobs. Also, stop watching The Help. Seriously.

EP008: IntersectionaliTEA - Pride was a RIOT
Wednesday Jun 10, 2020
Wednesday Jun 10, 2020
Is #Pride canceled, or does it just look more like how it started? Howdy sluts, this week we are talking intersectionality in the queer community and reminding us of our roots. For too long, the white gaysTM have centered themselves in the movement for queer liberation. The babes say, "NO MORE!" The revolution has always been queer and Lea Michele has always been mean. If your queerness is not intersectional, it's not queer. Black Lives Matter, and no cops at pride.
