"I wish I could give
All I'm longin' to give
I wish I could live
Like I'm longin' to live' - Nina Simone
The season finale of The Girlfriend Kit: Ask A Colored Girl delves into the notions of grief and its impact on black girls and black women. Vashti and DaSaint are joined by Reverend Dr. Leslie D. Callahan and get personal as only girlfriends can do to dive into this powerful subject.
Reverend Dr. Leslie D. Callahan serves as the first female pastor of St. Paul’s Baptist Church, a 119-year-old church located in the heart of Philadelphia. Callahan, who was once faculty at the University of Pennsylvania, leads her congregation with a focus on advocacy and community activism and a womanist slant. Born in the coal fields of West Virginia, Pastor Callahan studied at Harvard and attended Union Seminary soon after. From there she earned from Ph.D. in American Religions from Princeton University. Pastor Callahan advocates for lives at the margins in her role as head of the historic church.
We are your official “girlfriends”, in a kit, “because every colored girl should have a girlfriend.”
