Now that we are past the election and getting ready for the holiday season, we are returning for our full episode with Mama Sheryl! Sheryl Thomas-Washburn joins Kelli and Kendra to share more about how she got to where she is today. Mama Sheryl is Meg's mom, and she brings a whole lotta recipes for us to take with us. She starts by sharing her journey from a Christian Baptist church to her spiritual awakening; she shares tips for navigating one's spiritual journey, especially when you do not have community, and what it's like being in an interfaith relationship. Mama Sheryl also describes raising a queer daughter while connected to a fairly conservative church. Don't get punched in the face, because she just looks this cute. She will square up!
