And the nonbinary Oscar goes to...Well, The Academy isn’t there quite yet. Nevertheless, jarrett and Tre’vell grapple with the question: Is it time we leave gender out of awards? They get into some of the thornier issues award shows face navigating gender in honoring artists. Plus, is jarrett fatphobic (again) for donning shapewear? Tre’vell has thoughts. They cover all this and more!

This week, Tre’vell and Jarrett are discussing the complicated relationship we have with Charlamagne Tha God and the rest of the team over at "The Breakfast Club."
The NYC-based syndicated radio show has been on the air since 2010 and has seen everyone from bestie in our head Mo'Nique to presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton come through. Guests can expect to have a candid conversation about hot topics and be grilled by hosts Charlamagne, DJ Envy and Angela Yee.
There's no denying the show is a hit but sometimes in an effort to be provocative the show can let down its audience. It often traffics in misogyny, transphobia, ignorance and shenanigans. Not to mention the fact that it's received somewhat of a reputation as being the place for White politicians to go when they want to pander to Back voters.

Beyoncé is King
FANTI
08/06/20 • 57 min
This week, Tre’vell and Jarrett do their absolute best to give the gift, the voice, the Queen that is BEYONCÉ the FANTI treatment.
If you've been living under a rock for the past week maybe you missed the news about Mrs. Knowles Carter and her reinterpretation of Disney's The Lion King for her movie Black is King.
We'll get into what's so great about Beyoncé (SPOILER ALERT: Everayyythaaaang!) and take time to dissect a few of the criticisms the multi-talented star has received for the film and in her career so far.
Is Beyoncé using "Africa" as a costume or is it merely another example of African Americans desire to reconnect to their stolen roots?
Is the artist guilty of cultural appropriation or is it appreciation?
We'll take a deeper look at the artist's love letter to the continent and parse through a few of the milestones of her long and successful career.
But first...
A Tough Question
This week, Tre'vell would like to know if it's necessary or even preferable for a Black person to have a Black therapist?
DIS/Honorable Mentions (Black is King Edition)
This week, Jarrett has an honorable mention for Yemi Alade whose work on "Don't Jealous Me" was impeccable. You can pick up her latest album, Woman of Steel, here. Costume Designer Zerina Akers, Colorist Robert Crosby and Lead hairstylist Neal Farinah along with a team that included Nakia Rachon Collins all did what needed to be done.
An honorable mention to Mrs. Tina Knowles-Lawson for gifting us with the gift!
And last but certainly not least...
An HONORABLE mention to the one and only Blue Ivy Carter who came through and made it all look easy!

Rapper Ali redefined bougie in his rap song “Boughetto (ft. Murphy Lee).” Both Jarrett and Tre’vell mentioned Patrisse Cullors, who stepped down as executive director of Black Lives Matter in May 2021. If you’re looking for more clarification, Cullors is discussed in episodes Colorism: White Supremacy’s Stank Ass Grandchild (ft. Jarrett Lucas) and Colorism Part 2 (ft. Portia Bartley). Also, check out Jarrett’s Instagram account recommendation, everyniggadeserves.
Black History is Happening Every Day!
Before there was Michelle Obama, there were these amazing patron saints of bougie: Diahann Carroll as Dominique Deveraux in “Dynasty,” Jasmine Guy as Whitley Gilbert in “A Different World,” Kim Fields as Regine Hunter in “Living Single,” Tatyana Ali and Karyn Parsons as Ashley and Hilary Banks in “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,” Jill Marie Jones as Toni Childs in “Girlfriends,” and Christopher B. Duncan as Braxton P. Hartnabrig in “The Jamie Foxx Show.”
