019 - Faith & Revolution How Spirituality Fueled Black Resistance with Dr. Daniel Black

On this week’s episode of Not All Hood, our hosts Malcolm- Jamal Warner and Candace O. Kelly sit down with the illustrious and award winning author Dr. Daniel Black for a much-needed conversation on the history, and current status of the Black Church. For over 30 years, Dr. Black has shaped the minds of young Black men and women, and in this episode, he delivers thought-provoking insights on spirituality, religion, and the Black community. We discuss whether knowing God means you need Jesus, how enslaved ancestors used faith as a tool of resilience, and the church’s evolving role in healing trauma. Dr. Black also explores the fascinating notion that Harriet Tubman may have walked on water—both literally and metaphorically. Plus, he shares wisdom on the power of writing, the importance of having clear heroes, and why transformation is more important than imitation. This episode is a must-watch for those who want to deepen their understanding of faith, power, and Black history.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Not All Hood (NAH) podcast takes a look at the lived experiences and identities of Black people in America.
