Remember Who You're Centering with Rose J Percy

Welcome to this week’s episode of What Happens in Between where Rose J Percy, founder of Quni Community and Dear Soft Black Woman, goes beyond standard definitions of culture, faith, and religion. She has created a community for all to gather who live at the intersections of several identities and this did not happen on a whim or overnight. This happened through her, “vocational seasons,” as Rose would call it.

Every season has the potential to change your vocation. Your reason, “why,” changes with the seasons of life and finding your purpose is not cut and dry. Part of having a vocation is listening to the direction and having an open mind to the answer. Rose J Percy has mastered taking a deep breath and asking, “What is God calling to me in this season?”

Right now, her fulfillment comes from the Quni Community and her podcast, Dear Soft Black Woman, where she is able to talk to her community not on behalf of her community. Everyone is able to share their own experiences and foster friendships through vulnerability. Rose illustrates the person is made up of a plethora of different identities, and several we might not even be able to see. Join us on this week’s episode to discover how belonging to your community feels so much better than being needed by the community.
