74: "The Grown-Woman Theology" of Brittney Cooper

On today's episode, Ashley unpacks Brittney Cooper's womanist theology in her book "Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower." Cooper's analysis of the evangelical purity culture of the 1990s and the "True Love Waits" campaign provides readers with an understanding of how evangelicalism specifcally harms black women. Cooper's analysis and theology is a call to wholeness as it is a call to reject the white supremacist values found in the Christian religion.
