It’s officially #PublicationDay. Welcoming “The Wounds are the Witness” to the world. Available wherever books are sold; audiobook narrated by me. I write about Black faith and the relationship between memory, healing, and justice. #BHM

A guiding question that is always appropriate to ask: what impact does this have on the "least of these," the most vulnerable among us?

"This is the peace of the risen Christ, a disarming and humble and preserving peace. It comes from God. God, who loves all of us, without any limits or conditions." Beautiful words to hear from Pope Leo XIV.

"Language is the embodiment of experience, and the language of the Black church taught me to be certain of the justice and goodness of God, in contrast to the injustice and cruelty of humanity." ~Yolanda Pierce

It was never *just* an Easter speech. On this #ResurrectionSunday, I'm deeply grateful for the elders who taught me; a childhood pastor who encouraged me; and the fullness of time which matured my faith. Risen, indeed!
