Launched in 2014, Unfit Christian™ is a digital faith community dismantling the Christian Evangelical legacy of anti-Blackness, misogyny, and colonialism in our spiritual practices.
Together, we deconstruct religious harm and co-create a faith rooted in freedom, dignity, and the sacred memory of who we’ve always been.
My book, The Day God Saw Me as Black, is the culmination of a decade of public work in religious deconstruction and faith reclamation—and a lifetime of spiritual reckoning. Released October 29, 2024, it imagines what becomes possible when we stop denying ourselves—and each other—full liberation. Featuring foreword by Academy Award nominee Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor.
I’m a public theologian, spiritualist, and the voice behind Unfit Christian. I create space for Black folks tired of fear-based faith that punishes us—and hungry for a spirituality that makes us holy and whole.
I’m here to guide you toward spiritual freedom, ancestral connection, and unapologetic joy. We’re not doing church the old way—we’re co-creating something freer, deeper, and more alive.
In a word? Resistance. In a feeling? Liberation.
Unfit Christian is for the ones who find God in trap beats and Beyoncé interludes. Who feel the Spirit stir during Megan’s bars just as deeply as a church choir’s run.
We don’t fear sacred rebellion—we live it.
We are the ones who’ve always had God—but were told our bodies, our desires, and our questions made us unholy.
We’ve got an experience of God beyond what the Church taught us to be true.
Unfit Christian is for those who found freedom by leaving behind the dogma and doctrine that tried to make them small.
And it’s for those just starting to imagine a God who never asked them to erase themselves to belong.

The foundation of my religious tradition, ethic, and moral life is grounded by one dominant influence: Charismatic/Pentecostal Christianity. I formally identify as Christian+ as an acknowledgment of my integrated faith practices.
My lived experience as a Black woman influences my interpretation of Christian theology and dogma as well as my personal ethics regarding gender, race, sexuality, and hegemony. I am a spirit-guided lay practitioner whose work is influenced by multiple methodologies and peer mentored by respective elders of those systems. These include indigenous African practices, ancestral veneration, conjure, and divination systems.
While I do hold it as sacred, I do not believe the Bible to be inerrant or infallible – nor do I believe it is exhaustive of humanity’s experiences of God. I’m not a biblical literalist and I have a low Christology – meaning that I am more focused with understanding the lessons of Jesus’ humanity than the miracle of his divinity.
Unfit Christian unquestionably affirms the humanity of LGBTQ+ persons as holy, divine, and fully included in the body of Christ. We do not affirm Biblical texts of terror that condemn and harm our #QueerlyBeloved community and instead commit ourselves to re-reading these passages in their proper historical and cultural context.
Absolutely. The Unfit Christian community members represent a number of identities, beliefs, and paths — including atheist and agnostic folks. I believe that my own faith practices are enhanced through cultural exchange. My work is grounded in mutual respect and all who honor that are welcome.
I no longer offer tarot divination as a one-off service. In order to honor my need for mutually beneficial spiritual work, I now offer divination services as a 2-hour mini coaching session. To prevent burn out, I only offer a few spots annually for this service. TAP HERE to learn more.
