Shalom Sistas

Today, Cara and I talk about the Roadmap to Reconciliation written by Dr. Brenda Salter McNeil. We also share our candid responses to the question, "how are you doing?" in light of the election of a man who we both feel like has not modeled a heart or desire for racial justice in this country. It's one of the realest and most honest conversations we've ever had on Shalom. I hope you enjoy it.   Here's our Shalom Steps for Racial Reconciliation 1: Prepare your Heart 2: Prepare your Mind 3: Prepare your Community Books we love on this topic: Prophetic Lament (Soong-Chan Rah); Rescuing Jesus: How People of Color, Women and Queer Christians are Reclaiming Evangelicalism (Deborah Jian Lee); Embrace (Leroy Barber); America’s Original Sin (Jim Wallis); The Other Wes Moore (Wes Moore); United: Captured by God’s Vision for Diversity (Trillia J. Newbell) Where to find us online: The Shalom Sista Hangout: Perfect place to keep the conversation going Cara is pretty active on Twitter and her website Osheta is on
