The Mahogany Tower
The Mahogany Tower is a blog/podcast exploring the intersection of Science, Faith, and Sociocultural Identity, not necessarily in that order. As a Black, Christian scientist, I talk about everything from colorblind racism in 21st century American Christianity to using social psychology to slide in your crush's DM's. Don't worry, we'll have fun. Don't check your brain at the door. Follow us on IG: @themahoganytower
Episodes
[Western] masculinity is incredibly peculiar, but it also has the potential to be really influential to understanding male behavior.
Our Creator is a creator. That means you and I can create, too.
Chopping it up about brilliance. What it is and what it ain't.
In the case of American Christianity, I fear there’s a lot more emphasis on conforming, and assimilating, than being the men and women that God called for us to be, in full. That's a bad look, and I'll tell you why.
A live interview with my favorite [future] OBGYN. Chopping it up about boarding school, being a woman of color in medicine, and that one random time she worked as a butler.
If you're unwilling to see ALL of me, how can you date ANY of me?
Where colorblind racism and Christian dating collide.
How do we make sense of global icons, like Santa, that are largely based in fiction?
"Has Christianity been reduced to being an abolitionist?"
"If you believe your religious views will always be more important than the interests of your neighbor, that sounds closer to supremacy than it does religion."
"For us to say we’ve separated church and state but simultaneously look to advance Christian views while oppressing others is NOT consistent with honoring who we claim to be as a country. And if you love your neighbor, you need to care about that."
"Can prophets be prejudiced? Asking for a friend."
As much as I would like to say that all the sisters at church in the 1st century are lining up out the door to date our tall, dark, and handsome Eunuch, I'm not convinced. The brothers probably had their reservations about this guy, too.
Part of reading the scriptures is reading and understanding culture. The Bible's no stranger to ethnoreligious conflict. Consider the Jews and Samaritans.
Chopping it up about Christian ministry in 2020. Can I be honest? Time will tell.
It's goin' down in the DM's #CoronaChronicles #PandemicDating #QuarantineBae.
"Tales from the Corona Chronicles."
