Money is back this week talking a tea to help calm your nerves, which was much needed after hearing that WNBA star (and lesbian heartthrob) and 2x Olympic Gold Medalist Brittney Griner has been detained in Russia for over 3 weeks. I talk my understandings of what's going on, what scares me about the timing of her detainment, and hopes for her safe return home (timestamp in the description for this discussion). Gloria Anzaldua is QueerWOC of the week this week and her words were a much needed and timely reminder of what we face as QWOC. #FreeBG #FreeBrittney #FreeBrittneyGrinerWhere to find us:IG & Twitter - @queerwocpod FB - https://www.facebook.com/QueerWOCpod/Tumblr - www.QueerWOC.comListen to us on Spotify, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Castbox, PocketCastsContribute to QueerWOC via CashApp: $QueerWOCPodBecome a Patron: https://www.patreon.com/queerwocpodRate, Review, Request, Repost, Retweet, and Reply!Use the hashtag #QueerWOC to talk all things the podcastSend us an email or submit your Curved Chronicles: [email protected]QueerWOC of the Week Theorist, Writer and Chicana lesbian feministGloria E.
