Prayer & Action

Yazmin Spearman is a third-year MDiv candidate at Duke Divinity. She defines herself as a human, creative writer, and preacher. This episode was previously recorded in the summer of 2021. Due to my study abroad plans, Kiki's Korner was interrupted. Please enjoy this powerful conversation on intersectionality, critical race theory, womanism, the Black Church, and social movements.

Another 2 part series from Kiki's Korner Podcast featuring Brandon Wilkins.  Brandon Wilkins, a former athlete and a current coach  joined me to discuss Athletes and Activism. We talked about our current racial climate and athletes standing for justice. Recently the Orlando Magic and Milwaukee Bucks boycotted Game 5 of the NBA playoffs in light of the Jacob Blake shooting. A change must come. Brandon’s bio coming soon but follow his podcast and blog @ashiftinpace  *This episode was recorded before the shooting of Jacob Blake, the NBA Playoff Boycott and the Death of Chadwick Boseman.  *New theme music by Brandon Wilkins - The name of the song is Vision Quest from Brandon's moniker House of Monsters!

Season Finale of Kiki's Korner! In the final episode of season 2, I have a conversation with my fellow Seminarian Reagan Jones about knowing our purpose and remembering our identity in Christ during an isolating pandemic. Streaming on all platforms Saturday at 9am.

You're enough.  

Part two of the Transracial Adoption series with the Solis family! On this episode, Nahir discusses her Facebook post that was heard around the world. In the Facebook post Nahir addressed the complex relationship between the Latino community  and Black community when it comes to race relations. We concluded with Biblical principles for Transracial Adoption.

This is a two-part series dedicated to Transracial Adoption. My Youth Pastors Matt and Nahir Solis joined me on Kiki's Korner to discuss Transracial Adoption. A few years ago, they adopted Keson, Maya, and Kira. In part one of the series we discussed the Black Lives Matter Movement,  the current racial climate, and what the adoption process is like. This was a very powerful episode. I am grateful for their vulnerability, advocacy, and love. Streaming on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Overcast, Anchor, and YouTube. 

Isaiah 40:31 "but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

In this episode I discuss the power of prayer and action during a social uprising. 

Join me this Friday at 9 pm for a special edition episode of Kiki's Korner, as I will discuss the current state of "Race in America" during COVID-19, and the necessary response from the people of God. I will observe, interrogate, and prescribe biblical principles for racism.

In this episode I give updates on the murder investigation of Breonna Taylor, and have a candid conversation about black womanhood with Poet and Activist Natia Weathers.
