GC: God’s Chosen One
Truth is, those who use scripture to justify supporting the 45th President want white supremacy upheld. They will use any means to justify it. And they’re so used to white supremacy that whenever it is challenged, they think God’s will is being challenged…We are seeing allegiance to an ideology more than we’re seeing allegiance to…

Connect for the Cause
As humans, we are homogeneous creatures. We are naturally drawn towards and prefer to be with other people who are like us. I’m Black. I like being around Black people. Quite frankly, it feels safer. But just because it’s most comfortable does not mean it is right to live my life trying to avoid people…

Perfect Protest: The Right Way to Do the Right Thing
This is something I’ve struggled with these last few days. What is the perfect protest? What is the recipe for the savory treats that are palatable for the majority to take and eat ye all of what needs to change? My reading of history has not provided me any perfect answers. The way we combat…

DEAR ME, I LOVE YOU
We know who our neighbors are, in the biblical sense. But I wonder if we know who ‘people’ is. I’ll spare you the suspense: WE are people—you and I. An element of this command that I don’t think gets enough attention is the “as yourself” part. Love your neighbor as YOURSELF. This means we have…

Heart. Mind. Soul.
What’s the first thing you learned how to do as a kid? There are so many things I was taught and learned as a kid. I’m not sure I could pinpoint what the very first thing was, but I’m willing to bet I remember how to do it. In fact, at this point, it’s probably…
