Reclaiming the Body

This four-week course invites participants to explore the sacredness of the Black body through a womanist theological lens. Beginning with the concept of Imago Dei and embodiment in Genesis, the course will unpack how the body is a site for divine revelation. We will address the impact of respectability politics policing Black women's bodies, Africana embodiment practices as pathways to body reclamation, and how to embrace notions of a "queered" identity through facets of belonging, grace, and empowerment. Join us for a journey into the Bible, ethics, and theology that celebrates fullness, resilience, and spiritual liberation.
