What about the church?

The church that enslaved your ancestors and used scripture to justify it? That church, Family? Religion was weaponized against African people. The Christianity forced on slaves was designed to make them obedient. ‘Slaves obey your masters’ was preached while they stole your labor. Spirituality is real - but examine who benefits from your religious practice. Connect with the divine directly, through your own traditions. Don’t worship at the altar of your oppressors.
