Shame & “The White Man’s Religion”: Following Jesus as a Black, Queer Woman

Join Zhalarina and I as we talk about religion, race, gender, and sexuality and the impact of these intersecting identities on how we show up in the world. We hit on so many points in our time together, including: The impact of gender norms on non-gender conforming humans How to find yourself in a sea of overlapping systems of oppression How to reconcile when the thing you are trying to protect your kids against is what you end up perpetuating in your home Can you be a true and devoted Christian if you found Christ as a trauma response to your life? Is the church a mask we use to make ourselves feel “good enough” Differentiating faith from religion and the importance of not allowing ourselves to make anything too rigid Zhalarina is a rapper, actress, and playwright braiding psychotherapeutic tenets with performance art one song and script at a time.  Check out all of her awesomeness: Zhalarina.com Tiktok.com/@zhalarina Instagram.com/zhalarina YouTube.com/Zhalarina Twitter.com/Zhalarina
