Our goal is simple—educate white people on black history.
#BHforWP is a multiethnic collective dedicated to loving black and brown people by educating, resourcing, and challenging white people to actively participate in racial justice. The highest calling of humanity is to love. Whether you know it or not, the racial disparities in our country hurt us. They train us to protect our advantages rather than love others, and that mentality reduces us.
New episodes will be released on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month.

Lyla June, of the Diné (Navajo) Indigenous Nation and host of Nihizhi Podcast, speaks with Katina.

"I Won't Shut Up" with Ally Henny
About Ally: Ally Henny is the author of I Won’t Shut Up: Finding Your Voice When the World Tries to Silence You. She is a writer, speaker, advocate-minister, and vice president of The Witness: A Black Christian Collective–an organization committed to encouraging, engaging, and empowering Black Christians toward liberation from racism. Ally completed her Master of Divinity from Fuller Seminary with an emphasis in race, cultural identity, and reconciliation, and she hopes to lead a church someday. Since 2014, Ally has been leading conversations about race on her blog, The Armchair Commentary, and on social media where her posts reach millions each month. She is a proud Chicago Southsider.
About the Book: Being Black in a society developed by white men to benefit white men means constantly pushing back against systems that were not constructed for your flourishing. White privilege. White cultural norms. White beauty standards. White noise. You’re made to feel that your life doesn’t matter, your opinions aren’t valid, and your entire existence is too loud. It can feel like the whole world is telling you to shut up. To these forces, Ally Henny is here to say, “No. I am a loud Black woman, and I won’t shut up.” Ally knows what it’s like to navigate racism and racialized sexism, having spent most of her life in predominantly white spaces. She’s not taking it anymore, and she’s calling you to join her in resisting racism by speaking the truth–no matter the cost. In this compelling book, Ally tells her own story of finding her voice, pushing back against oppression, and embracing her unique perspective as a loud Black woman. And she invites you to find your voice in a world that tries to silence you.

Customer Reviews
Informative and digestible
Great perspective and insights! I appreciate this podcast for covering interesting and important topics in an accessible way. Great interview guests. Recommend!
Thank you
I love this podcast thank you so much for doing this! I was looking to learn more about BLM and your podcast came up in my search so I downloaded the episodes not knowing it was a Christian that made it! We need more of us to sand up for equality in this country we need to put our prayers in action! Thank you again for making such a great podcast!
Too religious for me
It’s important subject matter and the first episode started off promising but they veered into a very heavy evangelical Christian point of view that wasn’t for me. It’s a good podcast but I’m not it’s audience and if you’re not an evangelical, it might not be for you either.
