In this episode, we dive into the world of hostile workplaces, reflecting on how our interactions mirror our beliefs about the divine. It’s vital to correct our wrongs, recognizing the divine spark in each of us.


We're covering:

  • The church’s influence on the Black community, acting as a sanctuary for many but also a source of pain for some.

  • The unique challenges Black women face in religious and broader community spaces.

  • The importance of confronting and healing from personal and shared wounds.

  • The danger of spiritual bypassing within our community.

  • And how embracing God through love and compassion urges us to treat everyone with dignity and respect.
