"Fierce Love" w/ Rev. Dr. Jacqui Lewis
By Faith Matters Network
2023 Womanist Wisdom Series
"Redeeming Self-Love"
I love my skin. I love my body. I love my brilliance. I love me. Self-love is about celebrating oneself.
How can that be done in the midst of the busyness and challenges of life? Faith Matters Network is proud to present our second annual Womanist Wisdom series focused on Dr. Stacey Floyd-Thomas’ third tenet of womanism: redemptive self-love. The series asks the question, how can I love myself, regardless? Gleaning from our diverse group of beloved wisdom-keepers provides the opportunity to renew our commitment to loving ourselves.
Our final session in our series will feature world-renowned public theologian, Rev. Jacqui Lewis. We are excited to hear from Rev. Lewis' wisdom and decades of experience in social activism and spiritual care. Her recent book, Fierce Love, has been a healing antidote and guide for all who are seeking to live their life from a big-hearted place that embodies both self-love and the human capacity for empathy and collective healing. Join us for this powerful conversation moderated by one of our executive leaders at FMN, Sushama Austin-Connor.
