With a profound commitment to social justice, Rev. Dr. Brenda Salter McNeil advocates for reconciliation that transcends superficial diversity and inclusion efforts, highlighting the necessity of reparations as a critical step towards genuine reconciliation. 

In this conversation co-hosted by Dr. Rose Madrid Swetman and Jenni Wong Clayville, Rev. Dr. Brenda Salter McNeil reflects on her personal journey into ministry, the challenges faced by women of color in predominantly white church spaces, and the importance of trailblazing for future generations.

Be sure to check out Dr. Brenda’s latest book, Empowered to Repair: Becoming People Who Mend Broken Systems and Heal Our Communities.

In each episode, we ask our guests to highlight an organization that is doing good work in the world. Dr. Brenda gives a shout out to Christians for Biblical Equality, an international organization working to educate, advocate, and liberate women and men from Christian patriarchy.
