Yes.
And so I think for so long, theological discussions, including sexuality, has been dominated by one group of people and even one gender.
It was very male dominated.
But now we have more women saying things, but now we need more women of color so that we can get that full, robust understanding of sexuality, challenge each other, weep and lament and grieve with one another.
And I think if we can find that place, we'll be able to have healthy biblical understanding of sexuality.
But it requires the dominant culture to leave room for our voice and our understanding of theology and our understanding of sexuality.
I think that's the key.
But the other side of it is.
As people of color, we have to say it.
We have to speak up.
We're used to the doors being closed.
And so we stand over on the other side of the room having an extremely significant conversation, but not crossing over and having the conversation together.
So I think it requires room to be made for our voice.
And then it requires our voices to kind of really project and get into the conversation.
Yeah.
I think I mentioned it in the room, too, that some of the big cultural shifts and moves that happened as it pertains to sexuality didn't happen in the same way in our church.
And so with the concept of the purity movement and the purity narrative.
For many black churches and black church cultures, we only know about that within the white context.
We only know about it because we either went to a white institution or we heard a white friend talking about it, but there was no purity movement.
There was just the black church not talking about sex or only talking about it sometimes.
