I took a pause from posting about upcoming speaking events. In 2019, I was scheduled to be the keynote for the Western North Carolina Annual Conference Youth Gathering. It became known that I was a Queer clergywoman, and this led to protests. When the youth refused to cancel me as a speaker, anti-LGBTQ organizers convinced the event venue to make an ultimatum that the event could not be held there if I was a speaker. In an act of solidarity – rather than canceling me as a speaker – the youth chose to cancel the event. I was accustomed to retaliation for my anti-racism work, but this was new and difficult to process. Have no fear: I did not stop speaking… but I suppose I became more tender about it and recognized that something had changed in me and the world.
