In this episode, I talked with Rahim Buford. Rahim was paroled in 2015 after 26 consecutive years of confinement. A native Nashvillian, Rahim has seen and felt how poverty negatively impacts people in the criminal legal system. Arrested at age 18, he lived more than half of his life within seven different prisons across Tennessee. During that time, he completed course work for Lipscomb University, Ohio University, and Vanderbilt Divinity School. Rahim was a co-founder of Salt (Schools for Alternative Learning and Transformation), an inclusive undergraduate program that provides a safe learning space for non-traditional students at Riverbend Prison. While incarcerated, he also self-published his own book, Save Your Own Life. Upon his release from prison, Rahim received a Presidential Scholarship to American Baptist College, and worked part time as an organizer for Children’s Defense Fund Nashville. In 2017, he founded Unheard Voices Outreach to assist currently and formerly incarcerated navigate reentry. Rahim graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor’s degree in Entrepreneurial Leadership in 2019. He managed the Nashville Community Bail Fund from 2018 to 2021. Rahim uses his voice to advocate for decarceration and transformative justice.

In this episode of Broadening the Narrative, I talked with my best friend Kate Jaco. We discussed becoming boundaried and shared about our journeys toward developing boundaries alongside one another. Kate is an Enneagram 9, one of the most generous people I know, and a delightful human being. I hope that if you know and love me you can engage with the Broadening the Narrative blog, social media accounts, and podcast, as well as any recommended resources. Then, you can share with people who know and love you, and little by little, person by person, we can broaden the narrative.

In this episode of Broadening the Narrative, I shared reasons why we must value the voices of children and youth. When the voices of children and youth are valued, particularly those of marginalized children and youth, we can implement their ideas to usher in a world of peace, equity, and true justice. The guest I spoke with was my five-year-old Joshua Pappas. He offered advice, we talked about feelings, and he sang a few songs. It was such a special conversation for me. I hope that if you know and love me you can engage with the Broadening the Narrative blog, social media accounts, and podcast, as well as any recommended resources.

In part 2 of this episode of Broadening the Narrative, four of my dear friends, Christine Allen, Danielle Bolin, Ruth Fujino, and Kari Helton, share their experiences in the evangelical Church as single women. They discuss complementarian theology, identify what they've gained from their singleness, and give advice on how the Church can better love singles. Kari also reads a beautiful prayer she wrote. The conversation is vulnerable, authentic, and powerful, just like these four women of valor. I want to acknowledge that the women on this call cannot speak for all single people. All four women are cishet, 3 are white, and all have never been married. The experiences and perspectives of numerous single people in the evangelical church are missing from this exchange, including but not limited to Black, Brown, Indigenous, and Pacific Islander People of Color, single parents, those who are divorced, those who have lost a partner, and Christians who are LGBTQIA+, non-binary, and gender non-conforming.

In this episode of Broadening the Narrative, I talked with my friend Sequana Murray, or Bandy as she is known by her stage name. Sequana is a Black woman who is low-income, Queer, and a single mother. We discussed what her experience has been like in the church living at the intersections of multiple marginalized identities. A clip from Bandy's song "Confessions" closes out the conversation.

Numerous people have broadened the narrative for me, and I am asking many of them to come onto the podcast.
