Piece 52: Beloved

Posted on October 7, 2021October 31, 2021 by Querida

And just like Beloved re-entered Sethe’s life when Paul D. brought Sethe’s past with him to Sethe’s doorstep, every time Black Americans see an act of race-based violence in the news, our own ancestral ghosts appear.

Piece 40: One Day, When the Glory Comes

Posted on April 15, 2021October 31, 2021 by Querida

As theologian James Cone states in The Cross and the Lynching Tree, “Without concrete signs of divine presence in the lives of the poor, the gospel becomes simply an opiate; rather than liberating the powerless from humiliation and suffering, the gospel becomes a drug that helps them adjust to this world by looking for “pie in the sky.”

Piece 35: Black Church

Posted on February 19, 2021October 31, 2021 by Querida

When you think of the terror that has been inflicted on the black church in this country time and again, how do you imagine you might feel if the black church was that first place of faith for you? Would you feel safe to worship in the space where you truly felt at home?

Piece 33: Expanding the Antebellum Narrative

Posted on January 30, 2021October 31, 2021 by Querida

Piece 31: Wakanda Forever

Posted on January 22, 2021November 1, 2021 by Querida

I’m deeply grateful for the artistic choices Chadwick Boseman made, that broke box office record expectations for a black-led movie, that made star-struck young children want to attend historically black colleges and universities, that provided hope, relief, and joy for an audience full of people like me who are so grossly underrepresented in such beautiful, thorough artistic endeavors.

Piece 29: The Square Root of [Im]possible

Posted on December 30, 2020November 1, 2021 by Querida

When you watch Jingle Jangle, I hope you will move a step beyond passively taking in all the joy and beauty it offers to ask yourself when you last saw such lovingly crafted black characters on screen, how many heartwarming holiday movies uplift a wholesome image of a black family, and what it means for girls to see themselves represented as talented and determined and curious and bold.

Piece 28: Soul

Posted on December 29, 2020November 1, 2021 by Querida

So if Pixar is going to wait twenty-five years to give paying audiences a black protagonist, we can damned well insist they give us a thoughtful, human story – just as they have with all the white protagonists before.

Piece 27: I Go To Prepare A Place For You

Posted on December 9, 2020March 10, 2022 by Querida

During this time of year, my Episcopalian heart feels a sense of longing. In Advent, I turn my heart and mind to the coming of the incarnate Christ. It is not therefore lost on me this week that when Tubman uttered on her deathbed, “I go to prepare a place for you,” that she was borrowing from the Christ in whom she believed and trusted.
