  • Black Religious Trauma Survivor Speaks with Ebony Brice
    May 13 2026

    Some stories need to be told because someone else is living them in silence right now.

    In this episode of Surviving the Black Church, Ebony Brice steps forward to share her experience as a Black religious trauma survivor — from growing up in the Black church, to enduring spiritual abuse at the hands of church leadership, to finding her voice on the other side of it all.

    No credentials. No platform. Just a survivor telling her truth — and in doing so, giving language to what so many others have been carrying alone.

    This one is for everyone who knew something was wrong but was told to pray through it and keep quiet.

    Surviving the Black Church — because your story doesn't end there.

  • Holding onto Faith After Familial Abuse with Carolyn Murphy
    May 6 2026

    What do you do when the family that introduced you to God is the same family that caused your deepest wounds? And what does faith look like when the trauma is that close to home?

    In this episode of Surviving the Black Church, we sit down with Carolyn J. Murphy — survivor, Mindshift Coach, and Founder of Firm Foundations Community Outreach, LLC — for an honest conversation about holding onto faith after familial trauma. Carolyn's journey from wounded to whole inspired her book God, Why Did You Save Me? and a mission to help others unshackle from their past and step into freedom.

    This one is for anyone still carrying wounds from the family they were born into — and still reaching for faith anyway.

  • Spirituality in the Black Community with Brooke "Bee" Sanders
    Apr 29 2026

    What does spirituality look like for Black people on the other side of religious trauma? And what happens when the tools that bring you healing are the same ones the church told you to fear?

    In this episode of Surviving the Black Church, we sit down with Brooke "Bee" Sanders — intuitive reader, self-published author, and Black empowerment advocate — for a real conversation about reclaiming your spiritual life outside of institutional religion. Drawing on Tarot, Dream Interpretation, and Ancestral Channeling, Brooke has helped countless people reconnect with themselves and their ancestors after the church told them that door was closed.

    This one is for the spiritually curious, the religiously wounded, and everyone still figuring out what healing looks like on their own terms.
