My Theological Work
Eden in Babylon:
The Manifesto of a Black Transsexual Theological Abolitionist, The Shortform
Eden in Babylon is my Master of Divinity thesis-in-progress at Emory University, examining how Black trans embodiment reshapes theological understandings of exile, survival, and sacred belonging. Through personal witness and abolitionist theology, it asks what it means to reclaim spiritual authority within traditions that have historically required certain bodies to live at the margins. This work argues that even in exile, new visions of freedom and sacred identity can be named and made real.
“Our bodies, then, are not just suffering—they are scripture. Not because we chose the cross, but because we refused to disappear beneath it. In our resistance lies revelation. In our visibility lies testimony.”
