a phrase used to indicate that a person's actions are nothing to be ashamed of. Used in a reassuring manner towards someone else, or as a statement to justify one's own actions.
Not to be confused with 'no tea no shade,' which usually precedes a subtle insult, 'no shade no shame' is a genuine statement of solidarity with another person's actions, or unapologetic pride in one's own actions.
You workin the pole to feed your three kids? Keep doin you honey, no shade no shame!
I went to the All-you-can-eat Buffet and I brought my own foil paper and fixed myself a to-go plate! No shade no shame!
This term was coined as a catchphrase by the drag queen Jasmine Masters in 2015 and has had a large impact on her fans ever since. Initially, it means the same as "no tea no shade", but it just extends the same term and makes it even better.
