In this week’s episode, Stefanie sits down with her fellow Drexel alum to discuss, “Why Is Public Health So Racist?” and just how to navigate all white spaces when you are anything but.

In this episode, we’re going to focus on the Christian Right. While they don’t represent the entirety of the Christian Church they are probably the most visible and hold a heck of a lot of power. In last week’s episode, we discussed the origins of white evangelicals. Both fact and fiction. Fiction: It was a response to Roe v. Wade Fact: It was a response to integration and all-white Christian academies losing their tax-exempt status as well as to throw a monkey wrench in gay rights. We are following up on the last episode where we talked about HIV, monkeypox, and the  Christian Right. When researching for that episode I was most shocked by the level of influence the Christian Right, evangelicals, and the moral majority have on public health. Examples include:·        Delayed response to HIV      Abstinence-only education      Bans on gender-affirming care     Don’t Say Gay Bills

For that reason, I wanted to bring on a guest with more insight into the inner workings of the Christian church Episode 2's Guest is Eruke Ohwofasa: Eruke is a theologian with a master’s degree in Divinity. She is also a Ph.D. student in religion with a concentration in comparative theology. Her research interests are comparative theology using African, Indigenous, and womanist methods. In addition to all that she has worked as a clinical chaplain for the past seven years. Questions and Guide        Why is the Christian Right obsessed with the gays? Was homophobia always a part of Christianity? Was anti-blackness and anti-indigenousness always a part of Christianity? Discuss Christian Academies (purity culture and indoctrination) Stigmatizing Disease-What does Jesus say? Reclaiming Power- Black Womanist Theology What should we be reading?

o   Sisters in the Wilderness by Delores Williams o Yearning by bell hooks o   God of the Oppressed by James Cone Thanks for listening in.
