Centering Black faith and spirituality, The Day God Saw Me as Black is a genre-defying cultural critique of white supremacy within the Black Pentecostal religious experience.

In this groundbreaking work by public theologian and sought-after cultural strategist D. Danyelle Thomas, you will journey with the author as she examines The Church through the lenses of race, gender, sexual expression, and class—blending sharp cultural analysis with personal narrative. It is both a critique and a meditation, a study in decolonization and a call for reconciliation.

The Day God Saw Me as Black dares to imagine what could be possible if we stopped denying ourselves—and each other—the fullness of liberation.

Now in its first paperback edition, this release includes “Pray for the USA,” an exclusive essay that reclaims prayer as spellwork and spiritual protest when Christian nationalism masquerades as God.
