If you are looking for spiritual care practices that do not glide superficially across complicated matters of faith, justice and identity, look no further than No Trifling Matter. Dr. Chanequa Walker-Barnes offers practices of care alongside stories from a place that is grounded, human and sustainable.
I was personally excited when Marielle moved from Medium to Substack! Marielle's words are as compassionate as they are prophetic. She writes with both poise and urgency on topics of theology and culture from a womanist lens with conviction carved from her experience as an educator and theologian.
I am always in awe of Nya's faithful observance of the stars—those she sees in space and those she calls forth in those around her. A journey through Nya's words will expose the awe you long to tame and invite you to see the beauty of its release.
As a poet, podcaster, public educator, Camille's writings weave dreams of abolition with her experiences and learning beyond systems of oppression. As you experience her wisdom and wit, perhaps you'll find yourself like me, amazed by her thoughts and the frames she chooses to dress them in.
Karla's poems are like quilts knit together, holding moments with tender care. As an Afro-Indigenous Peruvian woman living undocumented in the U.S. when Karla describes what it means to be joyfully liberated, you're going to want to feel it too.
I discovered Brit's work through IG and became a fan of their storytelling and abstract art. Their art affirms the stories on the journey towards emotional intelligence through shapes, charts, and sketches. I especially love Brit's emphasis on "algorithm free" art.
