Does the Church have a “bland culture”? Is Black Lives Matter a Marxist organization, and does it matter? These questions might seem unrelated, but in today’s episode Catholic speaker and diversity practitioner, Ogechi Akalegbre, shares her passion for creating a Christian church that is alive with cultural diversity and a passion for justice. She addresses bringing flavor to Christian culture and how concerns about the ideology of the Black Lives Matter organization do not need to cause disengagement with the work of justice.
