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.
