We All Fall Short of the Glory
In this thought-provoking episode of Movement, Rhythm, and Conversations with Tafari, we dive deep into a question most believers avoid: If the God Christians claim to follow were to return today, would any of them be ready?

This conversation challenges the idea that Jesus will fix what we’ve been given the ...

In this powerful episode, Tafari explores the heartbeat of truth in the Black community, the legacy of Black journalism in America. Before social media, before television cameras, before digital newsrooms, there were the fearless pens, presses, and voices of our ancestors who refused to let white America define our story.
From Freedom’s Journal in 1827, boldly declaring “We wish to plead our own cause,” to Ida B. Wells...
