E30. The Tenets of Healing with Writer and Activist Darnell Moore.
In this episode, Dario sits with award-winning author and activist Darnell Moore. Moore’s scholarship weaves effortlessly between the role of the colonial state, the depraved church and the destitutes of patriarchy on political, spiritual, and social freedoms of Black, queer and marginalized people. A leading voice in culture, media, and movement, Moore antagonizes any Black liberation thought that colors freedom inside of the lines of cis, straight, and able-bodied Black people. In today’s conversation, we’ll explore Moore’s definition of a “costly grace” in transforming our justice systems, the role and relevance of Black churches in queer lives, and what it means to unbecome a man in community of menfolk. Sensitive topics in this conversation include suicide and domestic abuse.
