The Breathing Room Podcast
Hi everybody and welcome to The Breathing Room. This is a space where people of color and faith can come together to have our lived experiences acknowledged, witness each other's journeys, and take a collective deep breath. Join Kevin Holland and others each week as we explore what being a person of color in a multi-cultural American Christian church has been and is like. These conversations will touch on the spiritual, relational, and socio-political realities that influence us and our faith communities. The goal of this podcast is that fewer of us will feel alone and unseen and that more of our stories will be understood, valued, and championed. This conversation might also help us move from awareness to action in promoting justice as Jesus and the prophets of old did. Learn to do good. Seek justice. Help the oppressed. Defend the cause of orphans. Fight for the rights of widows. Isaiah 1:17 (NLT)

“The attacks on the US capitol on January 6th, 2021 will have ripple effects for years to come. We’re no longer in the September 11th era. We’re now in the January 6th era.” ― Oliver Markus Malloy, American Fascism: A German Writer's Urgent Warning To America
In this episode I discuss the impact January 6th had on millions of US citizens of color and me, how we got there, and the danger this new era poses for minorities in this country.
