Solving the Riddle of Being Human

God Is a Black Woman - with Christena Cleveland


Listen Later

This week, Sah welcomes Christena Cleveland, Ph.D., a social psychologist, public theologian, author, and activist. She is the founder and director of the Center for Justice + Renewal as well as its sister organization, Sacred Folk, which creates resources to stimulate people’s spiritual imaginations and support their journeys toward liberation. An award-winning researcher and former professor at Duke University’s Divinity School, Christena lives in Boston, Massachusetts.

In this episode, Sah and Christena discuss...

  • the quest for perfection and how anti-spiritual that mentality can be
  • how we can take back our sovereign power over how we interact with the world.
  • somatic awareness as a pathway to emotional freedom
  • setting healthy boundaries in a loving, spiritual, self-aware way
  • how the pathways to liberation vary depending on your privilege
  • Christina's book, God is a Black Woman, and her walking journey across France, to meet Black Madonnas
  • the patriarchal and colonial impact on how we perceive spiritual history and our Gods
  • how to pray to the Black Madonna and access her wisdom
  • and more...
