Act Justly | Love Mercy
Welcome!
Over the last few weeks, I’ve added a lot of new readers, and I wanted to take a moment and welcome you to Act Justly | Love Mercy! Here, I primarily write about the following themes:
Life, love, and leadership from a Black Christian perspective
Afrotheofuturism
What it means to act justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with God
Below, I’ve linked a few articles to help you better understand my writing on the themes above. I post a new piece every Monday morning, and I love it when readers take the time to leave a comment (I will always respond).
I started this blog as a way to grow as a writer and to clarify my voice, and I appreciate all of you going on this journey with me. Please read the posts below and I’ll be back next week with a new post in our Building A Village series. If you enjoy these posts, please consider becoming a paid subscriber. What’s in it for you? I will create exclusive content once I reach 50 paid subscribers.
Enjoy!

Indispensable Part - 2
In my last post, I spoke about surrendering to God. Now, I want us to think a little deeper about what it means to follow God. Who are you following? Who are you modeling your life after?
