I believe Candice Marie Benbow’s voice will have a lasting impact on Christianity and the modern. This book centers Black Women and Womanism in ways that the modern Black Church overlook. I resonated with a lot of what Benbow had to say about her experience navigating the patriarchal church, the ways in which it’s healing and harmful and leaves some people behind. As someone deconstruting my own faith and creating a spiritual practice that’s tailored made for me, I loved reading about Benbow walking us through the experiences and moments that shaped her own religious and spiritual practice. I think this is a must read for Black women who are disappointed with the church and seeking a deeper connection with God/The Divine.
