In 2010, I started writing publicly about millennial Black Christian women’s faith and feminism—specifically our sexual agency and how Black church doctrine seeks to control it.
For an entire decade in this public space, I took a lot of painful hits (mostly from Black male pastors). I still take them. Those hits are well documented and receipts are plentiful.
That, in 2020, millennial Black Christian women are able to speak freely about sex and faith has much to do with the work I did in the last decade and the scars and wounds I have from that work.
As I transition into the next iteration of my calling and vocation, I’m excited to see where sisters take Black church and Black feminism conversations in these spaces. More than anything, I’m glad the vast majority of them are not experiencing the vitriol that I have.
