Today, we're going to talk about how to read the Bible. This is the basics 101 of Christianity and in order to have an effective Christian life we're going to have to get into the word, but sometimes it can be so hard to understand what it's saying. In this episode we'll break down same ways you can level up your Bible reading and get the most out of the word.

Feel free to shoot me some of the ways you read the Bible.

In this last episode of the season, I was joined by my friends from the Bants To The Bone podcast, to talk about the #EndSARS movement against police brutality and abuse of power in Nigeria. This hashtag has gained momentum over the past couple of weeks and rightly so because Nigeria and Nigerians need our help to keep it going and push for change in their country. We are our brothers and our sisters' keepers we need to come together and advocate for change, use tools and resources at our disposal to help the African continent. There's so much happening, we need each other.

Idris and Stefan are both Nigerian and talked about what exactly SARS is and what has been happening in Nigeria for decades and has brought this issue to the forefront. I hope this episode is enlightening and you learn as I much as I did hearing from Idris and Stefan.

Today's episode features Céleste's journey navigating, learning about, and embracing her identity as part of the Métis indigenous group. She describes the different ways she has actively sought to learn about her Métis culture and more broadly indigenous histories and futures. We don't typically hear the voices, or stories of indigenous folks in mainstream media and especially not at school. As an educator, Céleste is passionate about making sure those stories are shared and taught and that indigenous students in the classroom see and hear themselves reflected because, indigenous lives matter.

We can all agree that Chadwick Boseman was a phenomenal actor that had such a profound impact on so many of us especially as King T'Challa in Marvel Cinematic Universe's Black Panther. From the tributes we've seen for him and even having watched some of his interviews, it is clear he was more than just a great actor but an amazing person too. The news of his death rocked me so hard, I'm devastated but I'm encouraged knowing that this life is only temporary we are all just passing through. We will miss his presence here on earth, but to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. Rest in Heaven Chadwick, our king. #WakandaForever

We're switching up the pace this week. Have you ever been in a season in your life where you feel like you're being taken for a ride? Regardless of how much you pray nothing is aligning or working out? Well, that was me and my homegirls not too long ago and we had to sit down and talk through it. Life won't always go as planned and it will suck but it's sometimes in those unplanned moments that God does His best work and when you look back, you realize how it shaped you. Listen to the musings of three 20-something-year-old ladies who are on this journey called life.

Systemic anti-black racism shows up in a variety of ways and in a variety of places. One of those places is in academia. It can be so difficult to navigate academic spaces as a black person, not seeing yourself represented on campus or in the material you are studying. Listen to a conversation I had with a young brilliant scholar, sharing her experience as a black undergrad student.

The voices of two black women who can't be bothered to muffle their words in the face of injustice. 

Navigating academic spaces as a student of colour can be a challenging experience, but also vital in preparing one for bracing the world as a whole. I sat down with one of my friends to discuss what this has looked like for us, an immigrant and a first-generation Canadian, especially in a city like Toronto. Tune in.

After a video documenting the shooting and killing of a young black man in Georgia, I had to share my thoughts and my heart about the continued violence and brutality that is committed against black bodies constantly. These are my raw honest opinions I got emotional at several points in this recording. I urge everyone who listens to this to think about the ways they are currently interacting with this system. To my fellow black folks "we gon' be alright".

I sat down with one of my best friends, author, playwright, and all-round superstar, Lindi, to chat about race and gender and how as Zimbabwean, and African women, we have interacted with these social structures in our lives. Join us as we revisit some junior school and university experiences that have shaped our views on race and gender and also until now, we hadn't taken the time to fully digest and reflect on. Follow Lindi on Instagram @the_awaited94, you can find some of her short stories on her blog awaitedwords.wordpress.com and buy a copy of her book Birth Place: A Collection of Recollections on Amazon.

Do you ever feel like you don't deserve to be where you are or have the things that you have? I feel like this a lot. I feel it at work I felt it when I was a grad student and even doing this podcast brings up these feelings. Let's chat Imposter Syndrome, and this internalised sometimes debilitating fear that you're a fraud and someone is going to find you out. Listen to my honest, raw and pretty emotional experience with insecurities and Imposter Syndrome. 

Hey y'all! I'm Rue and I want to share some encouragement for these crazy times we're living in. The world feels like it's falling apart, people are fighting for toilet paper (phewwww the ghetto chylee) economies are crashing, there are reports of a recession being on the horizon, it's a lot. However, in these precarious times, there is one thing or rather someone who remains steadfast, Jesus Christ, who is the same yesterday, today and forever. With Him by your side, nothing can and will move you. So if you'll allow me, I'd love to share about this man called Jesus and I know He can and will change your life if you let Him.
