T-minus 2 hours!!

At 12 noon ET today, head over to FB for an interactive live convo with @reneaugustsa (South African Public Theoligian). We are launching this 8-week opportunity to thicken our faith by decolonizing our approach to the Bible!!

We seriously need this right now. The world needs decolonized faith. Let’s do it.

I planted these today. In honor of my grandfathers

I planted these today. In honor of my grandfathers Junius and Austin, Great grandfather Hiram and 2x great-grand Henry. They defended democracy, even though democracy did not defend them.

Maybe that’s changing.

These are two must watch documentary events this weekend!

Last night I sat down to watch the first episode of #highonthehog with my mom. 3 hours later we were 3/4 of the way through the 4-part series on @netflix. It was deeply spiritual. I learned a ton. And my mother was even surprised by a memory of her South Carolina mother preparing food that she never realized showed direct connection to food prep culture among the enslaved in that region. We watched in awe. I finished the series today and wept—in awe.

Tonight (in one hour) I will watch #TulsaBurning on @history channel. I had the privilege of watching part of it for a discussion with faith leaders a few weeks ago. Friends, this history is so hidden. And, yet, it shows so much about who we have been as a nation and what repair will require. Definitely sit yourself down and watch #tulsaburning !!

A year and a half. That’s how long it was since

A year and a half. That’s how long it was since my last hair salon visit!

Now that I’m fully vaccinated I Amtraked my way back to my DC stylist, Vonetta Dumas at Signature Image Salon and look at this before and after!!

I came with an impossible combination of requests: Healthy hair, cut out old color, keep the length. I also had a vague idea of the new look I wanted. We prioritized healthy hair and cutting off color while trying to keep as much length as possible.

Add to that, Vonetta had to deal with uneven places from natural breakage. 🤦🏾‍♀️

In the end, I walked out with a look very close to what I imagined when I walked in! Plus, Jené gave me the shampoo of a lifetime—pure bliss.

Thank you, Vonetta and Jené, for a fabulous first foray since the Covid cray-cray! 😆🙏🏾👊🏾❤️

TONIGHT!

Ronald Greene
You were a 49-year-old barber
You were driving
While black

They tased you
Again
And
Again
And
Again
As you pleaded with them
“I’m sorry!”
“I was scared!”
“I’m your brother”
And
They beat your face
And
They hog tied you
Wiping your blood from their clothes
They joked that you better not have AIDS
And
They dragged you—face down—by the shackles they clamped around your ankles
And
Your unresponsive face scraped across the gravel

They loaded your limp body into the back of their car
And
Dropped your body at the hospital
Where they lied
“He was in a car accident,” they said. “He hit a tree.”

2 years, the truth was buried with your fried black body, sir.

But, even from the other side, your body spoke.
Two taser prongs hung from your back whispering from the grave:
“There was no tree.”
“There was no crash.”

Two years, the Louisiana precinct had the video in their taloned hands.

Two years

They lied for two years straight.

Now we see you and we see them.

And we believe our eyes.

CRT is simply telling the truth of our history.

“Nothing is covered up that will not be ... uncovered, & nothing secret that will not become known. Therefore whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the light.” Luke 12:2-3 https://twitter.com/lisasharper/status/1407331344305303570
