#211 Hey Auntie by Tea with Queen and J. published on 2019-06-19T03:00:14Z Queen & J. are two womanist race nerds talking liberation, politics, and pop-culture over tea. Drink up! On this episode…We get into some mental health check-ins and then we uncover, dismantle and disrobe that whole Auntie fiasco and the cultural significance of who and what is an Auntie in the colonized world. Either way we’re telling Harriet Tubman on everybody. This week’s hot list: coworkers and safety, co-dependency or just regular relationship shit, mental health, coping, managing work, creativity and rest. And classism, anti-Blackness and other implications in the auntie debate.

I don't see this as an agist term. I see it as an elder or a term for someone of experience and wisdom. 2019-06-21T23:14:53Z Comment by nstevenh I am not sure if the quote I am about to is from Gail or not, but it goes as this. When Oprah started her school in South Africa and some people criticized her for not starting a school here in the US. Gail, I think responded by saying... 2019-06-21T23:05:46Z Comment by user18637178 Idont want Oprahs potato salad. She probably put raisins in it at this point lol 2019-06-21T17:12:06Z Comment by user18637178 The things Oprah says are cringe worthy and out of date. I knew she never liked Black Americans as soon as she made a school in South Africa. Im like, you couldve did that in America for BAs. 2019-06-21T17:11:05Z Comment by mikacherie Happy Juneteenth fam! 2019-06-19T16:26:32Z Comment by mikacherie okay but then they'll be dressing us down like Maya Angelou did that girl who called her by first name 2019-06-19T16:14:53Z Comment by mikacherie 🤔 didn't consider them being beholden to the white gaze 2019-06-19T16:09:47Z Comment by mikacherie As soon as I saw Ava and Oprah dissing the Auntie honorific, I thought about that Tea Mail 2019-06-19T15:14:01Z
