About this Event

Join us on Thursday, March 20 at 7 p.m. as we welcome D. Danyelle Thomas, author of The Day God Saw Me as Black! We will celebrate and discuss her book, followed by a signing!

About the Book

The Day God Saw Me as Black is a genre-defying, cultural critique of white supremacy in the Black Pentecostal religious experience through the lenses of race, gender, sexual expression, and class analyses. A narrative that weaves between critique and meditation, decolonization and reconciliation, the theoretical and the deeply personal, The Day God Saw Me as Black is an imagining of what could be if we stopped denying ourselves — and each other — full liberation.
