Prathia Hall
Well it sounds presumptuous to say you were born with a mission, but I have always had a deep passion for justice. I was raised by my parents in what I believe to be the central dynamic in the African American religious tradition. That is, an integration of the religious and the political. It is a belief that God intends us to be free, and assists us, and empowers us in the struggle for freedom. So the stories of our history helped me to understand that we were called to be activists in the struggle for justice.-Rev. Dr. Prathia Hall Wynn

Remembering Rev. Prathia: An Interview with Teresa Fry Brown
On this last day of Women’s Herstory Month, I’m celebrating the Rev. Dr. Prathia Hall Wynn. After all, it was Rev. Prathia’s deeply held sense of “Freedom Faith”--which she worked out in her roles as both minister and activist--as well as her staunch commitment to the lives of black women, that inspired the creation of this online network. To find out more about her (beyond the pat information available on…

and the Oscar went to...Mo'nique
Hello Sisters,
It's always so much more fun and intriguing to watch the Oscars when our sisters are nominated and I had the pleasure of being surrounded by many friends and loved ones as we anticipated the oscar announcements for Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress. Needless to say, we were ecstatic when Mo'nique won! She looked stunning, her makeup flawless and she acknowledged our ancestor Hattie McDaniel. Yes! All that to say, I was really proud of her! But of course,…

Women’s Her-story Month: A tribute to Old Black Women Healers
So, how do you make a little black girl believe that all she has gone through does not determine her ability to take flight? How do you “teach” her that her wings are beautiful and that the risk of flying is a marvelous growth enriching endeavor? How do you make her see that her caged song and flight will one day inspire others to freedom? How do you “teach” a black girl to… Continue

The Only Devil in here is you!
These words may have shaped my life as a pastor more than anything else. May of 2008, I was assigned to pastor an urban church that was in need of some tlc. I call it the girl church. The place no one else wanted to go, so they figured they
would send a woman. I
absolutely love being the pastor and adore the membership, which has grown
significantly in God’s favor over these past two…

Out of the Mud and Mire
By now you’ve seen the images of devastation left by the earthquake in Haiti. You’ve heard the grisly reports of trapped, wounded and dead Haitian men, women and children. If you’re like me, you also saw the black and brown faces amid all the ruble and had immediate flashbacks of Hurricane Katrina. Only now, the impact is on a much larger scale that includes an entire country that has historically been… Continue Posted by Jessica Davenport on January 15, 2010 at 5:30pm — 1 Comment
Take Back the Mic: R. Kelly, Tavis Smiley and the Gendering of Black Moral Leadership
Tavis Smiley’s decision to pull the curtain on the annual State of the Black Union (SOBU) conference after 10 years isn’t the only reason he’s been in the news these past few weeks. Evidently, the talk show host, political commentator and author will now devote his time to pursuing other projects, one of which includes publishing a memoir penned by R&B… Continue Posted by Jessica Davenport on January 11, 2010 at 6:30pm
