Racquel is joined by Indhira Udofia, a mental health practitioner & PhD student whose work centers those who have experienced religious trauma. Together they have a conversation with Quanita Hailey, a hospital chaplain based in Brooklyn NYC. Together the three of them discuss the importance of trauma informed care and the lessons learned while providing care in the midst of Covid-19. They also discuss the spaces of healing that they have curated called FreeXone 4 Us & Sanctuary of the Seeking and how their queerness has influenced their spirituality.

We talk about it all from election week anxiety, the absurdness that is Paula White, and we dive deep into a discussion on what makes good friendships so sacred in our lives. We do all of this with a bunch of laughs in between because...well just listen & find out. Journey with us to The Sacred Spot!
On this episode we discuss how voting is being mobilized & discussed within our communities as we approach Election Day. We also dive deeper into the influence of Womanist Theology & Black Liberation Theology on our lives & how they shape our work in theologically conservative regions. The question we consistently ask is, "How do we make sure that ALL Black lives are sacred in Higher Ed & Beyond?" #EndSARS
In this episode we take time to honor the things we had to learn & unlearn in our spiritual journeys. We sit down with special guest Rev. Trey Campbell & discuss it all from respectability politics to the influence of African Spirituality & so much in between. Journey with us to The Sacred Spot!
We finally launched a podcast! At the beginning of the semester we sat down to discuss our vocational work on college campuses, the ways that we are encouraging students to care for themselves this semester, and the healing practices that we are finding useful as we seek to ground ourselves in the year that is 2020. We would love to hear about the self care strategies that have been helpful for you as well!
