Embodiment of Black Women, Faith and Ecology: Exploring the Contributions of LaRyssa D. Herrington's Scholarly Writings Through Toni Morrison's Lens
LaRyssa D. Herrington, M.Div., is a PhD candidate in Systematic Theology and a Dean's Fellow with Initiative on Race and Resilience, affiliated with the Department of Theology at the University of Notre Dame. In this episode, LaRyssa shares her creative writing, which she calls her "drinkable water." Our conversation was awe-inspiring as we discussed the embodiment of black women, faith and ecology. The author speaks passionately about her contribution to the recently released book, "Green Saints for a Green Generation," edited by Libby Osgood, CND, with a foreword by Elizabeth A. Johnson (Orbis Books Maryknoll, New York 10545). LaRyssa’s chapter titled “I Am Black and Beautiful” Toni Morrison’s Ecological Imagination as a Return to Black Embodiment, is poetic and warmly thought-provoking. https://ndt.academia.edu/LaRyssaHerrington
