Black Girlhood as Sacred Text

A deep dive into Black girlhood, dreaming, and the holy work of freedom.

There are voices that don’t just speak — they shift the room.

This week on The Practice of a Hoodoo Baptist, I sit down with EbonyJanice, Hip Hop Womanist scholar and author of All the Black Girls Are Activists.

For those that may not know, EbonyJanice is a dynamic lecturer, transformational speaker, and Womanist scholar committed to decolonizing authority and centering Black women’s freedom dreams. Her latest book, All The Black Girls Are Activists, explores Black girlhood, ancestral reverence, and radical wholeness as pathways to liberation.

Our conversation is a love letter to the sacred, intellectual, and spiritual work that Black women carry — often unseen, often unpaid, yet always world-shaping.

Together, we talk about:

  • How the spiritual labor of liberation shows up in our bodies, relationships, and creative work.

  • Black girlhood as sacred text — joy, play, and memory as theology.

  • What ancestral reverence looks like as a living, breathing theology.

  • Why softness, pleasure, and wholeness are revolutionary acts.

EbonyJanice reminds us that the revolution isn’t just in the streets — it’s in our healing, our art, our prayers, and our rest. Her voice carries the rhythm of revival, the fire of truth, and the joy of remembrance.

Grab her book All the Black Girls Are Activists wherever books are sold and check out more of her work on her website.
