Hello gentle-people,

By now you should know I will never champion a busy life, though it is often unavoidable. If I don’t find time to look out a window and watch clouds or cars pass by, I will find something to quit. I am deeply devoted to my internal world and the beautiful salon with it where I entertain my favorite guests. So interestingly today I feel like I am inviting you into the salon to talk about: soteriology (salvation), the politics of pleasure, Black liberation and womanist theology, and Haitian diasporic experiences….through the lens of a romantic comedy.

Let this post remind you—I am a theologian. I am reaching into that bag today a bit more—perhaps I may do more theological reflection here in the future. I trust you can discern for yourself what you want more of and what you have had enough of and move accordingly.

An additional content warning is necessary here: This post eludes to or explicitly mentions physical violence (child abuse, lynching, crucifixion). As always, may you read and take in at a pace that honors the journey of your body.
