[EXTENDED CUT] Can Singles Be Content? (feat. Ekemini Uwan)
Manage episode 397071761 series 2974722
Today we are running it back to my conversation at the beginning of Season 8 with Ekemini Uwan. Ekemini is a public theologian and co-author of Truth’s Table: Black Women’s Musings on Life, Love, and Liberation.
She is the co-host of the award-winning podcast, Truth's Table and Get In The Word With Truth’s Table. Ekemini is also a contributing writer for Hallmark Mahogany and Christianity Today named her among "10 New or Lesser-Known Female Theologians Worth Knowing.” Her writings have been published in The Atlantic, The Washington Post, The Huffington Post Black Voices, Christianity Today, and The Witness: A Black Christian Collective to name a few. Ekemini has appeared on MSNBC, and her insights are quoted by NPR, CNN, The New York Times, The Washington Post, and The New Yorker among other publications. As one who is passionate about theology, Ekemini has a fierce commitment to the gospel and its implications for issues pertaining to racial injustice, anti-black racism, and white supremacy.
In this episode, you'll hear Ekemini and I talk about:
- the unique injustices single black women face
- how to broaden the way we think about contentment
- what healthy community in singleness looks like
- and ways to uproot shame.
You can follow Ekemini on Twitter @sista_theology, Instagram @sistatheology, and Facebook at facebook.com/sistatheology. Her website is sistamatictheology.com. The Truth's Table book is available wherever books are sold, and you can listen to Truth's Table and Get in the Word with Truth's Table wherever you get your podcasts.
