Lovely and powerful readings and reflections from black Unitarian Universalists

Glad to see this anthology of readings, ponderings, poems, songs, and resources from Black Lives of Unitarian Universalism. Many of the contributors presented at the BLUU Symposium in 2019; it's good to hear from them again. Looking froward to more.
I want to try out some of these songs with my congregation:
41 May I Be Light, Mykal Slack
46 Hold Everybody Up!, Melanie DeMore
48 Welcome Home, Rev. Osagyefo Sekou, Jay-Marie Hill

Truths in Word and Music
Holding these truths and knowing they give breath to the winds of change in Unitarian Universalism. Looking back, as in Carpenter-Tucker’s “Sankofa, Go Back and Get It” and looking forward through our ancestors in Carruther’s “Radical Imaginings” bring voices of truth together.

[5 stars] Prose, poetry, and songs by and centering Black Unitarian Universalists. This collection, curated by the Black Lives of UU (BLUU) group is excellent. Highly recommended to everyone, but especially those who want to learn more about BLUU's history and ministry and anyone seeking spiritual connection from a Black feminist, disabled, queer, and trans perspective.
