Description: From Yolanda Pierce, dean of Howard University School of Divinity, comes this gripping and honest reflection of the genuine faith she experienced at the knee of her Black grandmother. Born on a former cotton plantation, her grandmother raised her in the deep, steadfast faith inherited from those once enslaved. Here, she reflects on the Divine she encountered in the everyday womanist theology she grew up in—rooted in liberating scriptures, experiences in the Black church, and truths. Alongside this run the tensions of race, spirituality, trauma, freedom, resistance, and memory, all contributing to the deep wells of faith and wisdom that continue to drive her. *2024 UWF Reading Program: Nurturing for Community
