Make Me Your Instrument: Stories & Saints that Still Sing w/ Brother Zachary Stephens-Walter

Franciscan Friar and Afrofuturist musician, Brother Zachary Stevens Walter, reminds us that history is dynamic…and deliberate. From recalling the Black history of the banjo and the African identity of Saint Augustine to wrestling with the memory of Saint Patrick as a wound of colonization, we discuss collective healing through hidden histories. Brother Z inspires contemporary uses of ancient cultural technologies, and venerates the role of historian as activist. Join two friends as they uncover the hidden holy and truths buried by revisionist history—because we can only write the future by reckoning with the past.Follow Brother Z’s journey @brotherzachary and @communitychurchny Conversations with visionaries are released on full moons.Released April 11, 2025. Original music by Isabel Mares.
