The Dell and Jess Show
by The Dell and Jess Show
Dell and Jess are two good friends who used to be evangelical and now they aren't. But they're still black, still a woman (Jess), and still gay (Dell). They talk about their experiences in Christianity a lot. The conversations are pretty good, so they decided to share them.Why? Because Dell and Jess realized that many people around their age are struggling through the negative effects of the faith they learned. By sharing these serious, honest, and (hopefully) funny conversations, they hope to give people the courage to live the lives that work best for them.
