Shut Shit Down: Tackling everything uninhibited

From the creators of Opposite Ends podcast-this Queer Womanist and Feminist are shutting shit down! .Clergy types Miranda and Kwame are tackling unapologetically subjects and social issues that the Church refuses to be accomplices alongside those who have been marginalized, oppressed and subjected to violence. We will be discussing Critical Race Theory, the 1619 project and the socio-political movements erupting in the midst of a pandemic reality.

Kwame

Kwame has found herself immersed in justice movements surrounding

transformative and revolutionary change. Her name is a dedication to a collective ancestor, Kwame NKrumah, first president of Ghana. It is also a reminder to her of the responsibility and the accountability she has towards her Ancestors which she holds in high stead, and to the journey of multiple faith belonging that she finds herself immersed.

As ordained clergy in the Christian church, Kwame serves in a Pastoral leadership role in the Upstate New York Synod of the ELCA, moving to WNY in September 2019; she is also Campus Pastor for LuMin Campus Ministries of WNY and continued her faith clergy activism locally. Kwame identifies as a Womanist practical theologian.

Miranda

It feels like I’ve been shutting sh*t down my whole life, so there’s nothing better than having a partner to continue that with!
I’ve grown up here in WNY and continue to see the ways our communities are the most segregated in the country- this includes our churches.
When I’m not shutting sh*t down with Pastor Kwame, I’m playing and learning with my 2 children, our dog Radler, and enjoying life with my best friend and spouse, Jordan.
