Where Ya From? Podcast

Listen Later

Everyone struggles with issues of identity. We’re all looking for those “perfect” qualities, whether big or small, that define us. That’s why, when we allow others or our culture to answer that question for us, it can lead to devastating consequences. In this throwback episode of Where Ya From?, Rasool speaks with theologian Ekemini Uwan and discovers how harmful ideologies impacted not only the way she viewed herself, but her relationship with Christ.


Guest Bio:

Ekemini Uwan is a theologian and writer who has dedicated her life to combating racism and bringing awareness to the issues of colorism, microaggressions, and white supremacy. She is a host of Truth’s Table, a popular podcast for black women, and holds a Master of Divinity degree from Westminster Theological Seminary.
