A Womanist Pastoral Theology of Black Girlhood

What can Black girls teach us about God and God's activity in the world?



Since its inception, womanist pastoral theology has carefully attended to the lived experiences of being Black and female and have centered those interlocking experiences as primary sources in womanist pastoral theologizing and reflection. Yet, the actual voices and lived experiences of Black girls have been noticeably absent. In this book, Kishundra D. King gives voice to the rich experiences of Black girlhood, expanding the scope of womanist pastoral theology and disrupting histories of Black girlhood erasure in society at large. King demonstrates how the lived experiences of Black girls inform theologies and practices of care important for all.
