We’re kicking off a series, Race Conversations, with Pastor Jonita Johnson (affectionately known as Mama Jay). This incredible woman is a preacher, mother, grandmother, author, and so much more - she even owned a company called Mama Jay's Lip Smackin’ GOOD Hot & Spicy BBQ Sauce and Rubs. What doesn’t this woman do?! Collide Founder and Director Willow Weston got the privilege of interviewing Pastor Jay about her experience as a Black woman in different parts of the country, how we can tangibly love one another better, and what it means to reconcile under the name of Christ.
