Marcie Alvis-Walker – Her Story Speaks

For this bonus summer 2021 episode I am joined by writer and thinker Marcie Alvis-Walker, the creator of the IG account and blog “Black Coffee With White Friends.” Marcie is also the creator of Mockingbird History lessons for adults where she shares the missing narratives of history and her most recent project, Black Eyed Bible study, where she dives deeper into the Bible from a womanist perspective. Marcie has a passion for seeking truth and sharing real history that challenges folks to dig deeper and think critically.

In this episode Marcie and I talk all things Critical Race Theory and more. CRT continues to be a hot topic especially at school board meetings where many parents are objecting the possibility it be taught to their children. Why is this theory, that has been around for years, even at the forefront right now? Why is it so hotly debated and opposed by some parents? What is it exactly? Why does it matter and what does the Bible actually have to say about it?
