TRST BLCK WMXN

For this version TRST BLCK WMXN, I’m continuing conversations with Black women in search of the lessons that our grandmothers and mothers taught us. I’m sharing sacred space with Black women in my community to listen deeply as we talk about who shapes us -- and how does that contribute to the work we do — whether it’s social justice work, creative work or ministry. These conversations assess a moral formation but also bridge gaps and uplift the oral tradition of storytelling. I’m not simple asking the question, What does it mean to trust Black women? I’m embodying and practicing trust while in a posture of deep listening.

In the pilot episode, The TRST BLCK WMXN Podcast is inspired by Dr. Melva Sampson.  On this podcast, we take seriously the question of “what it means to trust black women,” and we stretch that question to include “what it means to do so as a holy practice?” We embrace Black feminist and Womanist thought. We center black women’s lived experience. And we honor the bodies, voices, and historically subjugated knowledges of the divine. Curated by: ashlove  Guest Host: Dr. Kholi
