Welcome to the Porshanality Podcast! A podcast on faith and culture. I am your host, Porsha Williams Gates. Rate, comment, and subscribe to never miss an episode. Have a topic in mind for an episode? Feel free to email me at hello@justporsha.com
Reflecting on my personal and professional journey, I emphasize the importance of courage, perseverance, and surrender in the face of change and the value of seeking guidance and support. I also shared my love for learning and announced the upcoming release of a visual and audio recording on my Substack.
I recently completed my doctoral program, a significant achievement, yet I feel uncertain about my next steps. Moving back in with my parents has been a mutually beneficial arrangement, allowing me to save money and plan my future while providing care for them.
I also discussed the history and future of our podcast and blog, which we launched in 2016 and the podcast in 2018, respectively, and shared a personal anecdote about the early days of the blog. Our initial launch felt like a new beginning, but over time, it evolved into something different. I highlighted the importance of releasing perfectionism and embracing the ongoing process of life. I shared our experiences with surrendering to the process and being present in the moment rather than worrying about the future. I also noted the value of seeking guidance and support, especially during times of transition.
I emphasized the importance of investing in oneself financially and in terms of personal growth. I realized that paid events and opportunities attract a more committed and engaged audience and encourage others to diversify their experiences and interactions. I stressed the need to contribute one's voice and ideas and to value the investments others have made in us. I urged everyone to assess their situation and make the most of the available resources and relationships. I acknowledged the limitations of relying on a single person or source for all answers and encouraged continuous learning and self-improvement.
I shared my love for learning and encouraged the audience to find their own interests and pursue them for the joy of it. I also announced the upcoming release of a visual and audio recording on my Substack, which is available on various podcast platforms. I emphasized my intention to release content on an intuitive schedule and invited the audience to sign up for the Substack, even if they weren't paid subscribers. I expressed gratitude for the audience's support and encouraged them to share the content.
As always, I thank you for joining me. Keep up with me by subscribing to the Substack (porshawilliamsgates.substack.com) and visiting the website (www.porshanality.com).

Did y'all know that I'm in school? Like for real? Well it's true. I've mentioned it a few times, but on this epsiode, I share a bit more about what I am doing in my Doctor of Ministry program along with my academic journey. It is application season here in the US and I also share my thoughts on college and how to choose. As someone who has a ton of college debt, I am a big fan of going where the money is. Additionally, I am a fan of applying to HBCUs, epscially now more than ever. With SCOUTS striking down affrimative action, we have to be stratgeic with our academic plans. This and more on the episode.

Let's be honest. What's happening between Israel and Palestine is a lot. This "conflict" (i.e. apartheid and terrorism) has historical roots that expand beyond recent news. Social media has blown the story up in ways that appear to be one-sided. Some are feeling lost in the sauce on the subject and are searching for the right words to say. Beloved, it's ok if you don't have the words.
In this episode, I make an attempt to share some context to what is happening and what we can do when we don't know what to do or say. For the practical parts of this conversation, tune into the audio.
Now, to understand "how we even got here," it is important to note that the following statements are a rough overview. The Palestinian-Israeli "conflict" is a long-standing political and territorial dispute between Israelis and Palestinians, primarily over the area known today as Israel and the Palestinian territories (West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem). The roots of the conflict are deep and involve historical, political, and religious factors. Here's a bit of historical background to bring folks up to speed:
1. Ancient History: The region, historically known as Canaan, then later as Judea and Israel, has been inhabited by various groups over millennia. The ancient Israelites established the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah there. Over time, the area witnessed multiple invasions and rulers, including the Babylonians, Persians, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and many more.
2. Islamic Rule: In the 7th century AD, Muslim Arab armies conquered the region, and it became part of various Islamic caliphates for over a millennium.
3. Ottoman Rule: By the early 16th century, the Ottoman Empire took control, which lasted until World War I.
4. British Mandate: After World War I, the League of Nations granted Britain the mandate to govern the region. During this period, the Zionist movement, which sought a homeland for Jews in response to centuries of persecution in Europe and Russia, gained momentum. This led to significant Jewish immigration to Palestine as an attempt to return to their homeland post-holocaust.
Key Events:
1. UN Partition Plan (1947): Following increased tensions and violence between Jewish and Arab communities and the end of the British Mandate, the United Nations proposed a plan to partition Palestine into separate Jewish and Arab states, with Jerusalem as an international city. The Jewish leaders accepted the plan, but the Arab leaders did not because they already lived in the land.
2. Formation of Israel (1948): In 1948, the State of Israel was declared. Neighboring Arab countries intervened in disappointment, leading to the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Israel retained its declared borders and expanded its territory. This war resulted in a significant number of Palestinian Arabs either fleeing or being expelled from their homes, an event Palestinians refer to as the Nakba ("catastrophe"). Over 700,000 Palestinians were displaced and lost their homes and resources.
3. Six-Day War (1967): Tensions led to another war, during which Israel captured the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Golan Heights, and Sinai Peninsula. Israel later returned the Sinai to Egypt but kept the other areas. The continuing Israeli occupation of these territories is seen by Palestinians as a denial of their right to self-determination and statehood. The presence of the Israeli military in these areas and the associated security measures are major points of contention.
So, what's the current situation? The core issues of "the conflict" today include the borders of Israel and Palestine, Palestinians' rights, Jerusalem's status, and security concerns. Over the decades, multiple attempts at peace, including the Oslo Accords and Camp David Summit, have been made but with limited success. Today, Israel exists as a recognized state, while Palestinians primarily live in the West Bank, governed by the Palestinian Authority, and in the Gaza Strip, governed by Hamas. The status of East Jerusalem, which both Israelis and Palestinians see as their capital, remains one of the most contentious points. The situation is further complicated by violence and displacement of people. Palestinians seek recognition and representation on the global stage. The lack of an opportunity for a unified Palestinian state and the challenges Palestinian representatives face in international forums are sources of frustration. Palestine doesn't have a full seat at the table in the same way that Israel does.
Both parties have resulted in horrific acts of violence (with a significantly tipped scale) that stem from oppression and generational trauma. What we see now in 2023 is just the tip of the iceberg to a deep-seated issue of imperialism, colonialism, and apartheid.
Again, this is my best attempt to explain with compassion and care. I recognize that many people don't know where to begin on this subject and I hope I aided in that process.

Fall is here ya’ll! The AWARD-NOMINATED Porshanality Podcast is back! I hope you had an enjoyable Summer season. I surely did. This Summer was filled with Beyonce’s RENAISSANCE Tour and your girl was one in the number. But Beyonce isn’t the only won having a renaissance. The Black Church is in desperate need of a renaissance and a total makeover as gender bias and exclusion do not reflect the heart of God. All of this and more on the episode.

Father's Day, much like Mother's Day, is complicated. In this episode, I extend love to those who find themselves in a less cheerful space on Father's Day. At the same time, I celebrate the Dads. Dads are different from Fathers being that one does not have to be connected biologically to be someone's Dad. Being a Dad is a choice made on love and commitment with presence. With the help of a few Dads in the biblical text, we are celebrating the Day of Dads!

In this episode, I am talking about Pride month! In my time as a pastor, people would ask me about my stance on homosexuality. As a remember of the alphabet mafia, my stance is one that affirms my identity with a theological perspective that I share on this episode.
Did you know that pride began as a protest? It is an uprising against police violence and is an act of resistance to the empire. Pride was founded out of the efforts of Queer and Trans Black and Brown women and gender non-conforming persons. This is also shared on this epside.
And finally, we go there in regards to rainbow capitalism and rainbow washing. It is time that these big corporations start putting their money where there mouth is rather than presenting that they care about the LGBTQIA community.

I am getting all up in your mind on this episode as we talk about mental health. Mental health has often been stigmatized and criminalized within the Western world. It is time that we have an honest conversation about mental health. This is not something that we can over-spiritualize or think that we can pray away. Everyone, at some point, needs to get on the couch and talk to a therapist.
Three books mentioned in this episode:
* The Body Keeps Score by Bessel van der Kolk
* A Recipe for More by Sara Elise
* Nervous by Jen Soriano

Don’t Forget to Pray: Discerning The Call and Whatnot
Welcome to Porshanality Podcast! A curiously sermonic podcast playground for adulting over 30. Because let’s keep it real, life will keep life with swift transitions, but together we can honor the moments we are in and keep on living. I am your host, Porsha Williams Gates.

Discernment is the ability to make well-informed and perceptive decisions. It involves the capacity to distinguish between right and wrong, or truth and deceit, by carefully analyzing the underlying nuances. Discernment is often closely associated with judgment, wisdom, insight, or the ability to perceive that which isn't immediately apparent.In a spiritual context, discernment is seen as the process of understanding and making decisions in line with one's spiritual or religious beliefs. It involves sensing or understanding matters at a deeper, often spiritual or metaphysical, level. Spiritual discernment is often linked to intuition, inner guidance, and aligning oneself with higher spiritual truths. It helps individuals make choices that align with their spiritual journey and overall purpose.
For me, one of the tools in the discernment process is prayer. Whatever you are discerning, remember to pray. This was the wisdom that I shared with a group of young adults who are discerning their next steps regarding what God is calling them to and who God is calling them to be. Or perhaps, what God is calling them towards, and what God is calling them away form.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but celebrate anyhow. Truly. Life will keep lifing and we need to make the moments that light our souls on fire. We need to make space for the things that bring us joy. If it's a birthday, graduation, wedding, celebrate. There is enough turmoil in the world that will discourage us from wanting to celebrate. Well, celebrate anyhow!
As always, I thank you for listening.

Mother's Day is complicated. Let's be honest and keep it real. As much as it is a celebratory day, it is also complex. On Mother's Day 2022, I had the opportunity to preach on Mother's Day and I want to offer that sermon to you. It is the story of Peter raising Tabitha from the dead. IN times like these, we can all use a little resurrection power. May you be blessed, encouraged, and seen on this day. Feel all of the feelings and know that I am praying for you and lifting you up. I see you, beloved.
As always, I thank you for listening.

Critical Thinking: The Spiritual Magic of the Black Church, and Whatnot
Welcome to Porshanality Podcast! A curiously sermonic podcast playground for adulting over 30. Because let’s keep it real, life will keep life with swift transitions, but together we can honor the moments we are in and keep on living. I am your host, Porsha Williams Gates.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but your ancestors are not demonic. In fact, Jesus is an ancestor. We are seeing a rise of white supremacy cosplaying in Blackface in Black churches and preaching anti-Black messages. This has to end. We must engage Black spirituality and Black religion with critical thinking. This episode addresses the notion that sound theology should be accessible to people everywhere. Liberation theology has not always been accessible to the broader public because of the “seminary paywall.” However, it is the responsibility of the seminary-trained preacher to preach the truth full and free for the people. Growing up in Bridgeport, CT, I had access to liberation theology at my church when it wasn’t popular to preach. When it came to my spiritual formation, I was encouraged to read and to become a student before I could lead. We need more preachers and proclaimers reading and engaging in sound study.
Here are a few authors who have a catalog of works that I recommend as required reading for constructing Black Spirituality: Anything and everything written by James H. Cone, Emilie Townes, Toni Morrison, James Baldwin, Howard Thurman, Alice Walker, Delores S. Williams, Renita J. Weems, Kaite Geneva Cannon, and Malidoma Patrice Some.
As always, I thank you for listening.

The Earth is the Lord’s and everything in it.
This includes Black people, Brown People, Asain People, Indigenous People, Queer People, Trans people, Jewish People, Muslim People, and more. In light of Earth Day, in this episode, I want to talk about environmental racism.
Environmental racism refers to the disproportionate exposure of communities of color and low-income communities to environmental hazards and pollution and the lack of access to environmental resources and benefits. It is a form of systemic discrimination when these communities are subjected to higher levels of environmental risk and a lower quality of life due to discriminatory land use policies, zoning practices, and corporate decisions. Environmental racism can manifest in various ways, including but not limited to:1. Siting of polluting industries: Toxic waste facilities, landfills, and factories that produce air, water, and soil pollution are often disproportionately located in communities of color and low-income areas. This results in higher exposure to hazardous pollutants for residents of these communities. 2. Lack of access to green spaces: Marginalized communities often have limited access to parks, green spaces, and recreational areas, negatively impacting their physical and mental health. 3. Food deserts: Low-income neighborhoods and communities of color may lack access to fresh, healthy food options, leading to higher rates of diet-related illnesses. 4. Poor air and water quality: These communities often experience higher air and water pollution levels, leading to increased health risks and a lower quality of life. 5. Climate change impacts: Vulnerable populations are often more susceptible to the impacts of climate change, such as extreme weather events, heat waves, and flooding, due to inadequate infrastructure and limited resources. 6. Exclusion from decision-making: Marginalized communities are often excluded from environmental decision-making processes, leading to a lack of representation and advocacy for their needs and concerns.
Those impacted by environmental racism typically include people of color, Indigenous peoples, and low-income communities. However, it is important to recognize that the impacts of environmental racism can be intersectional, affecting various marginalized groups differently based on factors such as race, socioeconomic status, gender, and ability. By addressing environmental racism and advocating for environmental justice, we can work towards a more equitable and sustainable future for all communities.
As always, I thank you for listening.

Begin Again: My Truth About Failure and Whatnot
Welcome to Porshanality Podcast! A curiously sermonic podcast playground for adulting over 30. Because let’s keep it real, life will keep life with swift transitions, but together we can honor the moments we are in and keep on living. I am your host, Porsha Williams Gates.

Today, I want to talk about failure. What is failure and what does it mean to fail? In order to understand failure, one must understand success. With the chaos of Netflix’s Live Special for Love Is Blind and with the buzz around the recent numbers of Chloe Bailey’s debut album, we have a case study for understanding what failure means and how we can respond to perceptions of failure. By the end of this episode, listeners will understand:
1. Progress, not perfection
2. Experimenting is the key when trying, testing, and figuring things out publicly.
3. It takes courage to put yourself out there publicly
4. It’s ok to grieve what didn’t work out. Give yourself permission to grieve and mount what didn't meet your expectations. When the future is wrapped in our idea of success and life hands us something else, it hurts.
5. Take the experience and see what you learned from the process. Is it worth trying again? Should you table the idea? Can it be refined?
6. Try again and incorporate an element of play and joy for the fun of it. Loosen the expectations.
7. What is at the core of the foundation? Return to the why of why you started.
8. Rest in the wisdom that you tried the thing. Attempting is half the battle. Perhaps it’s time to redefine what success looks like.

Today’s episode, it’s time to talk about that time Jesus said, “**** This,” and Whatnot. Ok, he didn’t actually use profanity, but he was totally over the idea of sacrificing himself on the cross. It’s Holy Week; if we are honest, we should admit that Jesus was not ready to die. What we learn from his final moments in the Garden of Gethsemane are lessons for us all. We witness a Jesus who is equally as human as he is divine, full of compassion, radical honesty, and vulnerability. While he was frustrated with his disciples for falling asleep, we do see Jesus having an intimate moment with God the Creator. What can we learn from Jesus at this moment? It’s to be human and to accept yourself as a human being with emotions and feelings—this and more on the podcast.

Today’s episode, it’s time to talk about America’s problem with the boarder crisis and with guns. The treatment of asylum seekers who are detained at the US boarder is an issue. And how is it that we are still seeing mass shootings in schools in 2023. America has a problem and it must end with us. We need to stand up and take action. We need to raise awareness.
There are several ways to raise awareness about senseless gun violence in America, some of which are:
1. Social Media Campaigns: Social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube provide a powerful platform to raise awareness about gun violence. Using hashtags such as #EndGunViolence, #GunControlNow, and #NeverAgain can help to amplify your message and reach a broader audience.
2. Organize and Participate in Protests: Organizing and participating in peaceful protests can help to bring attention to the issue of gun violence. Protests can range from large-scale marches to smaller demonstrations, such as sit-ins or rallies.
3. Support Gun Control Organizations: There are several organizations dedicated to ending gun violence in America, such as Moms Demand Action, Everytown for Gun Safety, and Brady Campaign. Donating to these organizations or volunteering your time can help to support their efforts and raise awareness.
4. Write to Your Elected Officials: Writing to your elected officials, such as your senators and representatives, can help to voice your concerns about gun violence and urge them to take action. You can also participate in phone or email campaigns organized by gun control organizations to pressure lawmakers to enact gun control laws.
5. Educate Others: Educating others about the facts and statistics of gun violence in America can help to raise awareness and dispel myths about gun ownership. This can include sharing articles, infographics, or videos that explain the issue in a clear and concise manner.

Here is my framework for my reflecting on my birthday:
1. Reflecting on the Past Year

1. Reflect on Favorite Moments
Share your favorite moments from the past year. Maybe it was a fun vacation, a special event, or a meaningful conversation with a loved one. Whatever it is, let's take a moment to appreciate the joy and happiness that these moments brought you.
1. Reflect on Setting Intentions
Set intentions for the year ahead. What do you want to achieve? What are your goals for the coming year? Take a moment to think about the things you want to accomplish and set some actionable steps to make them happen.
Thank you for joining me on this special birthday episode.

This episode, "The Pivot and Whatnot," explores what it means to pivot. We can pivot and transition into new jobs, career paths, and more. When we pivot, we must consider a few things:
* Consider what is grounding and rooting us.
* Consider who grounds you and the people you are in community with.
* Consider the fears that arise in the process.
* Consider a self-assessment in the process of the pivot.
Pivoting is never easy, but it is very much possible.

For this episode, "BE HERE, NOW, AND WHATNOT," Porsha shares about being in the present moment. Often times we are looking towards the past or the future that were are missing out on what is before us in the present moment. When asked what is next for her after transitioning out of the parish, she responded with being in the present. Porsha is focused on what is in front of her at the moment. While she does think about the future and refelct on the past, she finds that the place where the two meet is called the present.
There are many benefits to being still and living in the present moment. Here are a few:
1. Reduced stress and anxiety: When we focus on the present moment, we are less likely to worry about the past or the future, which can help reduce stress and anxiety.
2. Improved concentration: Being still and present allows us to fully concentrate on the task at hand, which can improve our performance and productivity.
3. Increased self-awareness: When we are still and present, we become more aware of our thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. This can help us better understand ourselves and our reactions to different situations.
4. Better relationships: When we are fully present with others, we can build deeper and more meaningful connections with them.
5. Greater appreciation of life: Being still and present allows us to fully experience the beauty of life, including the small moments that we may otherwise overlook.
6. Improved mental and physical health: Studies have shown that mindfulness practices, which involve being still and present, can improve both mental and physical health by reducing stress, anxiety, and depression and by boosting the immune system.
Overall, being still and living in the present moment can help us lead a more fulfilling and joyful life.

Welcome back! Today, Porsha has a message for us all where she reminds us that we need to play. Sometimes as adults, we forget what it was like to be a child full of wonder and awe for the world. In hopes that we can reconnect with our inner child, we must play. How are you playing in your life? Also, Porsha encourages us to help other people feel seen. Often times people simply want to know if anyone sees them. We have the power to help others feel seen as we affirm who we are. All of this and more on this episode of Amplify Humanity.
Also, content warning as this conversation raises the topic of domestic violence.

Content Warning Welcome back to the Amplify Humanity Podcast. On this episode, Porsha shares with us about Suicide Awareness and Prevention Month.
As of July 16, 2022, 988 is the new three-digit dialing code for the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, now called the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. Anyone, anywhere in the U.S. can now call, chat, or text 988 and receive resources and support during a suicide, mental health, or substance use crisis.
Connecting a national network of over 180 independently operated state and local crisis call centers, 988 links callers throughout the U.S. to immediate crisis care.
Ideally, callers are connected with a local counselor in their own state. However, if the local center is unable to answer, the Lifeline reroutes calls to backup centers in their network, both in and out of state. Currently, the Lifeline provides live crisis center phone services in English and Spanish and uses Language Line Solutions to provide translation services in over 250 additional languages for people who call 988! Below are a few more resources.
National Alliance on Mental Illness: 1-800-950-6264
loveisrespect: 1-866-331-9474
The Trevor Project: 1-866-488-7386 or text START to 678678
YouthLine: Text teen2teen to 839863, or call 1-877-968-8491
National Deaf Domestic Violence Hotline: 1-855-812-1001
Let's continue to raise awareness and help people know what they can do if they (or someone they know) is struggling, and how to have authentic, caring conversations about suicide and mental health.

Ep 27 #Amplify Humanity- Creating Even When You’re Afraid
Welcome back to Another IG Live Amplify Humanity Podcast. Today Porsha is talking about creating even when we are afraid. Being afraid is a natural thing that sometimes gets the best of us. That doesn’t mean that we should stop creating. If anything, reconnect to the joy of creating and creating for creation's sake. Remember what it felt like when you first began to create? Harness that feeling for the days that you feel afraid. We here at Porshanality Media want to help you with your creative pursuits and you’re creative endeavors in the podcasting world.
Porsha also mentions a few topics we should all be concerned about, as it pertains to national news. As amplifiers of humanity, it is vital that we are all informed.

Ep 26 Amplify Humanity- The Creative Rut
Welcome back to Another IG Live Amplify Humanity Podcast. Today Porsha is talking about the creative rut. We have all been there and some days, if we are honest, we ain’t got it. When was the last time you got still enough to get in tune with your own creative juice? Do you even know what your creative voice sounds like anymore? What your flavor is? The pause of the rut can give us many answers.

In this episode of Amplify Humanity, it’s all about Pride! Pride Month is a time of celebration and uplift for the LGBTQIA Community. Pride month occurs in June as a commemoration of the Stone Wall Riots of the 1960s, where Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera were at the helm of the movement.
Today in 2022, when several states are passing the Don’t Say, Gay Bill, we are reminding you to SAY GAY! Queer culture will not be erased. "Don’t Say Gay" bills aren’t new, they’ve just been revived and so we urge you and ourselves to continue to make noise about these bills, normalize non-heteronormative beliefs and discussions, and ultimately understand that there are many ways we can destigmatize openness and fluidity in gender identity and sexual orientation.
We are also highlighting queer art and pop culture with Legendary on HBO Max, A Queer Chaplin Podcast, Nancy Podcast, and Strange Loop on Broadway!
All of this and more on the episode!

Welcome back to another episode of Amplify Humanity Podcast. Please do us a favor by rating and subscribing to this podcast.
On this episode, we're excited to center Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) history and podcasts this week! Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month is observed during the month of May, as it recognizes the contributions, culture, and influence of Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders to the history, culture, and achievements of the United States. May was chosen specifically because it commemorates the migration of the first immigrants from Japan to the United States on May 7, 1843, and because it honors the completion of the transcontinental railroad by over 20,0000 Asian immigrants on May 10, 1869. Moreover, the first Asian immigrants arrived in the U.S. in 1587 when Filipinos first began migrating to California. Immigrants continued to come from the Asian continent and the Pacific Islands through 1920. Happy Asian American Pacific Islander (AAPI) Heritage month!
It’s a Vibe
In this segment, Porsha shares with us strategies for self-care when the world is heavy.
- Log off social media

Welcome to Amplify Humanity. On this 5th episode of the podcast, Porsha shares a channeled message, amplifies humanity, and has a message for the President.
It’s a Vibe: Channeled Message
As we are in #SpookySzn, Mercury Retrograde, and Fall is here, Porsha share some questions for us to ponder: What do you want? What is God calling you do to? Where is God calling you to go?
The Amplifier:
It’s October, which means it Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and Latinx Heritage Month. Porsha shares information regarding the latter on the podcast.
Tell The President I Said:
Joe Biden is not off the hook! While we are glad that he is pushing for a leveld field when it comes to taxing the rich, we have noticed that he has not fully addressed the boarder crisis. With Haiti in turmoil, the last thing that this nation needs to do is turn Haitians away.
