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 amazon.com/dp/1506485332/…

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 hits so hard. Heartbreaking.

Sorry to hear this news. His "Prophetic Imagination" is still such an important text.

Thank you to @cac_abq for sharing this meditation from my new book.

We get a collab with @GloTheofficial and J-Hope?? Love everything about whatever brought the two of these artists together.

Thankful to @USCatholic for this review of my new book!

Blessed to have been well-loved and well-mothered. #HappyMothersDay

"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.

Nothing like being at a religious institution during a papal conclave. People have OPINIONS!

Every single frame of this commercial is a gift.

"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

Deeply grateful for this excerpt from my new book, which is accompanied by an incredibly beautiful illustration from Diana Ejaita. From the chapter "Black Church is my Mother Tongue." @ChristianCent @VanderbiltU @VUDivinity christiancentury.org/features/black…

“Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.” #BlessedAssurance

Had a great conversation about my new book "The Wounds are the Witness" with A Matter of Faith Presby Podcast. @VanderbiltU @VUDivinity. Check it out here: amatteroffaith.buzzsprout.com/1648090/episod…

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!

@CoreyMiles__ I humbly recommend my book: amazon.com/My-Grandmother…

I want to see more research & art about Black grandfathers. Their dreams, desires, and how they create life. I want to see more work on Black grandmas' relationships outside of their family obligations. Who they are as people, how they love, how they hurt.

The National Park Service quietly edited its website about the Underground Railroad to remove key references and quotes from Harriet Tubman and soften its language on slavery whatimreading.net/p/trump-nation…

@KevOnStage I wish.

Do you currently live in the state you were born in?

The cruelty and chaos of it all is exactly the point.
