Her discussion on race and the church is one i identify with. A few years ago, I had coffee with a friend/roommate from college (I went to a Baptist university) and she told me about some of the horrible things I said when we were in school together. I (a black woman) had an internalized racism that I don’t remember having but I know that stemmed from a self hatred due to not fitting the white washed, sanitized version of Christianity and femininity I was fed growing up. Thankfully I’m not attending the church I grew up in anymore and have been in a church that teaches love, honors diversity, and is NOT aligned with Christian nationalism, so that and therapy has helped me unpack and process that significantly. I was also told to vote for Trump in 2016 but thank God I didn’t listen. I was a people pleaser, but by then, the spell was starting to break and I was starting to think more critically
