It’s officially #PublicationDay. Welcoming “The Wounds are the Witness” to the world. Available wherever books are sold; audiobook narrated by me. I write about Black faith and the relationship between memory, healing, and justice. #BHM amazon.com/dp/1506485332/?be…

A guiding question that is always appropriate to ask: what impact does this have on the "least of these," the most vulnerable among us?
