Through Their Eyes || Believing While Black #5: Anderson Alston Re-Weav
-
- Christendom
Hi Friends,
Welcome to the Re-Weav podcast with Mitchele Anderson. Where we discuss what it means to weave racial unity in God’s community, sharing resources and stories to guide us on this journey. My name is Mitchele & I’m so glad you’re here.
Today, we are continuing the series Through Their Eyes || Believing While Black. Through the end of the month we will be hearing the testimonies of fellow brothers and sisters in Christ from the black community, or more accurately the African diaspora. The African diaspora refers to a diverse global collection of communities that are made up of sub-Saharan Africans or descendants of sub-Saharan Africans.
In each conversation we discuss identity, racism, faith, growth, & hope. We know that no cultural or ethnic group is monolithic. And still, I hope this series will provide you with an understanding of the experiences of our Black brothers and sisters in Christ. I pray that your hearts are soft and your ears are open to the possibility of a shift in perspective.
Today I sit down with my friend Anderson Alston!
Anderson is a young man in his early 20s, a musician & describes himself as an outgoing introvert. (I personally would also consider him to be quite the comedian.) We talk about how people treated him differently as he transitioned from a boy to a young adult, the reality of needing to carry himself differently and the need to have heightened awareness of his surroundings. We also discuss relationships & microaggressions. Toward the end of our conversation Anderson opens up about how he has been coping with the murders of Ahmaud Arbery and George Floyd (and more) as well as his faith journey through it all.
I am grateful that he was open about his personal history and honest about his hurt as well as his hope.
