Bodacious Womanist Wisdom

Hollies takes a look at 'bodaciousness' of women of color through stories of biblical women such as Queen Esther, Mary, the 'bent over woman' in LUke 13, and other unnamed biblical women. She launches her discussion of this bodaciousness through the lens of womanist theology. She discusses the journey of African American women who drew strength from their destitute state by weaving a quilt of resistance and resiliency, and encourages African American women and other women of color to be bold enough to move from their places of stagnation to places of victory.
