In this inaugural episode of the Black Modern Mystic Sidebars, hosts Tamice and Leah explore the themes of womanist theology, the significance of nature, and the role of pastoral care in liberation. They reflect on Toni Morrison's work, particularly the character Baby Suggs from 'Beloved', and discuss how these themes intersect with their personal experiences and the broader cultural context. The conversation emphasizes the importance of loving one's body, connecting with nature, and the need for community and care in spiritual practices.
In this conversation, Leah Jordan and Tamice explore the concept of womanism, particularly focusing on its waves and the emergence of a fourth wave that emphasizes rest, self-care, and community. They discuss the importance of ancestral healing, the embodiment of womanist principles, and the integration of identity and spirituality.
