Racism in Children's Music:
Liberating Music for the Black Child!

Viewed through the lens of chattel slavery and settler colonialism, Racism and Children’s Music: Liberating Music for the Black Child explores how children’s music has historically been used to reinforce racial hierarchy, shape identity, and normalize anti-Black narratives. The workshop examines the hidden histories of familiar nursery rhymes, the continued use of racialized imagery in children’s media, and the appropriation of African music in popular films and entertainment.

​

Through curated cartoons, songs, historical images, and video analysis, participants gain tools to critically assess what children are consuming—and why it matters. The workshop also highlights Negro spirituals as forms of resistance, cultural memory, and survival within enslaved African communities.

​

The companion book, Eeny, Meeny, Miny – No!, expands on these themes and provides concrete solutions and resources to support parents, teachers, and guardians in taking back control of their children’s musical and cultural environment.

The Way of the Gentiles:
The Real History Behind a Frequently Overlooked Biblical Command

The Way of the Gentiles is a historically grounded workshop that examines a frequently overlooked instruction attributed to Jesus in Matthew 10:5–6. Drawing on scripture, historical records, and decades of lived experience within the Black church, the workshop approaches biblical texts through historical context rather than inherited assumptions.

​

This passage is often overlooked because dominant theological frameworks—shaped within systems of white supremacy and racial hierarchy—have minimized questions of identity, power, and historical reality. The workshop clarifies who the Gentiles are historically, examines the identity of the Samaritans referenced in Matthew 10, and explores who the Bible describes as the “lost sheep of the house of Israel.”

 

By connecting ancient texts to documented history, The Way of the Gentiles demonstrates how biblical misinterpretation continues to shape modern society, influencing inequality, racism, and systems of oppression. Designed as a companion to the book of the same name, this workshop offers critical insight for participants seeking historical clarity, cultural understanding, and deeper analysis of how scripture has been taught—and why it still matters.

Hidden in Plain Sight: Africa, the Bible, and the False Profit$ of Christianity

This workshop invites participants to examine Christianity through the lens of its African origins by engaging directly with the Bible itself. Using familiar biblical texts—often overlooked or misinterpreted through Eurocentric theological traditions—the workshop reveals the central presence of Africa and people of African descent in the formation of Christianity and the biblical narrative as a whole.

​

Grounded in the themes of An Appeal to the African Church in America: Beware of False Profit$, the workshop exposes how racism, white supremacy, and profit-driven theology have worked to distort, minimize, or erase Africa’s role in Christian history. Rather than introducing “new” information, participants are guided to see what has always been plainly written, but systematically hidden in plain sight.

​

Through biblical, historical, and anthropological analysis, the workshop:

​

  • Reclaims Africa’s foundational role in the development of Christianity and Western religious thought.

  • Challenges theological distortions and myths that have been used to dehumanize Africa and African people.

  • Develops critical thinking skills necessary to discern truth from doctrine shaped by power, profit, and control.

  • Examines the historical responsibility of the African Church in resisting spiritual exploitation and economic manipulation.

  • Calls participants to align faith with liberation, justice, and the ongoing struggle for African self-determination.

 

This is not a workshop about attacking Christianity—it is an appeal to the African Church to recognize false profits, reclaim stolen narratives, and restore faith as a tool for liberation rather than oppression.
