Wow!! Today is my birthday. Sixty seven trips around the sun. “You don’t look 67, “ they say. “You look 50, 55 tops.” Well my heart has 67 years worth of joy and sadness and hope and fear and healing and happiness. My soul 67 years of prayers and forgiveness and scars and peace and wonder. My mind 67 years of ideas and theology and books and curiosity and questions and answers and doubts and faith. My body—well, it’s road tested for 67 years. I like it. I love it. It’s me!!

Thanks for all of your notes celebrating me.

I am my grandparents’ dream. My parent’s hope. Friend to sibs and cousins. I celebrate all our relationships. I, too, celebrate me.

Thanks for loving me.

I love you, too💕🎉❤️🎂

Across The Table Episode 7 Part 2 is OUT NOW 🎙️

Black mentorship isn’t optional. It’s necessary.
When you walk into a room, ask yourself: are you showing up in a way that makes younger Black folks feel seen, valued, and possible?

You have to believe you belong in the room so they know they belong too.

Watch now. Join the conversation. Pull up a seat. 🖤

The agenda of the Holy Spirit has always been plurality.
The first Pentecost wasn’t monocultural. It was multiracial, multicultural, and filled with people from every background and class.

When the Church rejects diversity, it misses the very heartbeat of the Holy Spirit. Unity in Christ was never meant to look uniform.

White supremacy is NOT a Holy Spirit agenda. Pentecost is all about the power of the Spirit manifested in diversity. All of the Jewish folk from the known world were gathered in Jerusalem to commemorate the giving of the Law—Shavuot—when the Spirit came on them. They were diverse in culture, ethnicity, social location, gender and sexuality, no doubt. And each of them heard the story of God’s love in their own language.

White supremacy chokes out diversity. Snuffs the life out of diversity. White supremacy celebrates whiteness only. It is afraid of the beauty and power of diversity.

White supremacy is a sin.

God’s gift to us is the rainbow coalition. We are all so beautiful. Created in the image of the Holy One. Celebrating and enjoying diversity honors God’s agenda. That’s the Holy Spirit agenda.

Nobody talks about what mentorship actually costs or what you’re really bringing to the table. 🎙️

Transparency is the most underrated thing you can offer a mentee. Not the highlight reel. Not the curated career story. The real one.

What do we owe the younger generation? Honesty about the gap between how our careers LOOK and how they actually went.

Drop a 🙋🏽‍♀️ if you’ve had a mentor who kept it real with you.

We’ve been here before. Where the court colludes with empire. Where I moves quickly to satisfy white supremacy.

We’ve been here before. Where our voices are silenced and we must jump through hoops to vote.

I was just in Selma. On the Pettus Bridge. Like my ancestors. Marching. Remembering. The march is not over family. We must march on. Until victory is one.

And we must keep crying out in the wilderness. Until freedom. I’m going to do until my voice is raspy. Until justice tolls down like water. Until everybody has enough. Until the dream of Beloved Community comes true.

What do you dream of?

A deeper conversation on how God shows up in every chapter of our lives.

How has God revealed Himself to you through the different stages of your journey? 👇

I’m emotional about voting rights. Uncle George Jordan was a trustee at St. James Chapel in Ruleville MS. Mrs Fannie Lou Hamer sang in the choir and was recruited by SNCC. Uncle George worked with her to register voters. They prayed with their feet. We must pray with ours. The march CONTINUES.

Selma was fire! We started with prayer, like our ancestors, asking God’s truth to help us march on until freedom. See my sung prayer on TikTok. Link in bio!
