During my time in Massachusetts I’ve been going to my family’s church, and I’ve generally enjoyed it. But this morning, at Sunday Service, it dawned on me that every Sunday a different person leads the congregation in scripture reading and prayer before the sermon, but it’s always a man. And it brought me back to when my mom and two men from our church were studying to become ministers, but my mom was only allowed to practice preaching on Sunday nights because the main Sunday morning service was reserved for the two men that were studying to practice their sermons. I remember sitting in church on Sunday nights watching my mom preach her heart out to all of 10 people who would show up to night services and that fills me with tearful rage because who decided that women’s voices are less important in the church? NOT JESUS.
But the beautiful thing is that my mom never became a pastor, but she continued to preach on Sunday nights, and stand up to men in church board meetings and take broken people into our home and fight for justice and she has never given up on spreading the compassionate message of Jesus and her voice has accomplished a lot for God despite the lack of a Sunday Morning platform.

Wow wtf HIV/AIDS was discovered by Flossie Wong-Staal, an Chinese-American woman, and she’s the reason the HIV test even exists. AND THEN she invented the molecular knife that lead to treatments for HIV/AIDS. And she’s STILL ALIVE. We don’t hear about the contributions of Women of Color enough, my word. Madness.
