BLK South Feature with @DonnellWrites
“And we talk like we from the South / our parents parents from the South…” - Saba
As a descendant of Black folks who left their homes and families behind in hopes of a better tomorrow, I’m grateful for organizations like BLK South who are doing the work of honoring and reclaiming Black southern heritage.
BLK South is more than a community organization. It’s in many ways a Sankofa movement; it’s a movement that reaches back, that learns from and honors our past, and allows it to inform our present and future as Black Americans.
Shoutout to @dooley.kendall, @erinvlashley, and @blksouth ✊🏾

If it applies, what part of the South did your family come from during The Great Migration?

As a writer and theologian, I am passionate about helping to create a more empathetic and inclusive society by writing for social change, and advocating for intersectional and accessible theological education/research. My research centers the study of black faith and life. In particular I focus on the black church, liberation theologies, womanist theology and biblical interpretation, theomusicology, and the spiritual & sociohistorical dimensions of hip-hop music & culture.
