Pause N' Play - Ms. Jackson If Ya Nasty!
play

01/28/22 • 81 min

Her name ain't "Baby", it's "Janet. Ms. Jackson if ya nasty!"

How could we not come back after hearing that our combined FAVE @janetjackson is releasing a TWO part documentary about HER LIFE AND CAREER?!?!

It's been quite some time. A year in fact. With the mix of covid, anti-blackness galore, career moves, and protecting our mental health & wellbeing, it was difficult to set aside time and get back into podcasting.

But we found that time! And like Janet, we're making a two part episode that highlights our favorite Janet Jackson songs, their history, when we realized we loved her, and so much more!

So y'all ready??? Tune innnnn..!

Breonna Taylor's murderers are still on the loose.
Tony McDade is barely a mention in our fight for justice.
Our black trans family is being lynched, and we aren't loud enough for them.
*************************
As you enjoy PT 2 of this episode, be sure to check the link in our bios to see what you can do to [demand] justice for [all] of the black lives that are being stolen.
ALL OF THEM.
************************
Remember: this race isn't about the swift, it's about endurance.
Keep the momentum going. Find your pockets of joy. And remember that #BLACKLIVESMATTER includes all of us imbued with this hue.
& as always, thank you for listening to: Pause N' Play.
