An brief update of where I've been since I last posted:
- I graduated with my Bachelor's degree
- Got a Master's in Animal Sciences
- During that time I started teaching a diversity and social justice course
- Decided I liked teaching
- Currently doing a PhD in Curriculum Studies with a focus on Multicultural Education
A little more on how I got to here:
- Attended an XA SALT conference and my conference track was focused on Diversity: A gospel perspective (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwMri3OCCEA)
- More from her here: http://www.drivingdiversity.org/blog
- Felt like God was calling me to do something about church segregation
- I plan to focus my research on desegregating churches
Just a bit of context for some of things on my blog to make sense:
- I grew up in a predominantly Black church but I now currently attend a predominantly White one.
- I am an African American female if you couldn't tell from my picture. This is the perspective from which I am writing.
- I really love Jesus
- I really hate politics.
- But a lot of what I will write about has to do with the previous two.
- Because I hate politics, and Jesus is the only hope we have, I do not align myself with a political party
- As I wrote in the description (but I think it's worth repeating here) if you consider yourself a liberal or a conservative, you'll probably be offended by some of my posts, but I hope you will think outside of your perspective and think about mine.
