As someone deeply aware of the history of racism, classism, death, and oppression tied to Christianity, why do I still identify as a Christian, especially as a conscious Black woman? Can deconstruction and decolonization redeem such a faith? These questions are at the heart of my book, The Day God Saw Me as Black.

In this episode of Gospel for the Culture, I introduce you to Chapter 2: White Man’s Religion. This central essay addresses the burning question often linked to my work: why remain committed to a faith so steeped in supremacist harm? I share my journey through compulsory Black Christianity, reconciling my gender, race, and sexuality with my faith, and how shifting my personal dogma led to liberation. Join me as I explore faith as an act of resistance against white supremacy.
