In this episode, I chat with my friend and pastor, Rev. Dr. Otis Moss III, about his unique sense of "home" within the Black church tradition. While I thought we’d talk about "the pulpit" as his home, our conversation revealed something much deeper. Growing up as a preacher’s kid surrounded by civil rights leaders we’ve all studied in school, Pastor Moss brings a perspective rooted in history, faith, and the ongoing fight for justice. Releasing this episode on Inauguration Day feels right—voices like his are more vital now than ever.

This episode features my friend Rahel, who I’ve known for over a decade and who’s the co-founder of Ilava, an African fashion company. Rahel is doing more than just designing clothes—she’s helping to reshape people’s connection to the African continent through fashion. I’m so excited she joined me for this conversation!
