Red Lip Theology: For Church Girls Who've Considered Tithing to the Beauty Supply Store When Sunday Morning Isn't Enough by Candice Marie Benbow

5.0

This is such a completely honest collection of essays. I always deeply appreciate Black women who are able to articulate the intersection (or lack thereof) between Black feminism, womanism, sexuality and the Black church/theology in their work. Together, these are really complex issues that do not traditionally intersect, according to various OFF interpretations of the Bible. I listened to this via Audible, and Benbow's performance is phenomenal. I first got to know about Benbow via her 2016 Lemonade syllabus that went pretty viral back when Beyonce's album (Lemonade) was released. Benbow is truly resourceful and I can’t wait to read more of her work. Her mother in heaven must be so proud of her co-masterpiece, that is her daughter.
