We're back!!!

Life has truly been life-ing, and as fellow #LupusWarriors, we're sure you understand.

Shanelle and Ayanna are reunited and it feels so good.  After a long, and we truly mean long break, we're so excited to be back with a brand new episode.   

Self-care is such a hot topic, as it should be, but as Lupus Warriors, it tends to have a different meaning to us versus our immuno-normative counterparts (yes, just made that term up...I think).  The ladies discuss their challenges with self-care, being consistent with their healthy routines and habits, and how self-care not only impacts self, but spills over into our closest friends, family, and tribe.

We hope you enjoy this episode and will do our best to not be gone so long!

Make sure you follow us on Instagram to keep up with Ayanna and Shanelle and when we drop new episodes!

You ever wonder if your cycles impact your Lupus or if your Lupus impacts your cycle or if you're imagining it all?  In this episode, the Queenz talk about how Lupus and menstrual cycles battle it out.  There's also an impromptu review of Beyonce's new album, and Shanelle ensures that one of her ex-boo thangs will never be one of our guest. 

AND...we hit 500 downloads and it's all thanks to you!  We appreciate you!

You can also find Ayanna & Shanelle on the gram!

Even though we recorded this episode a week after Memorial Day, NYC is experiencing a heat wave like none other.  So, we chatted about our rituals (or lack there of) when it comes to preparing for the sun, and more importantly vacation.  Plus, Ayanna overshares (as usual) and has yet another edible story while Shanelle relays that time she was having too much fun to pay attention to that oncoming flare.

Make sure you follow the Queenz on Instagram and let us know how you protect yourself from the sun!!
