WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE CHURCH?
My unapologetic, Black self. 2016.
I haven’t been to church in over a year now, and I’ve been pondering how I should address what I’ve discovered along the way. If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you probably could’ve never guessed that I would end up here. I never imagined that I could exist outside the Church I once held so dear.

I didn’t write the post. I read it on a different blog that I follow and i did agree and did disagree with some of the writers thoughts but it was fascinating that’s why i shared it on my page.
