Overview

In See Me, Believe Me, Rev. Dr. Yolanda Denson-Byers draws from the wisdom and experience she has gained--and the racism she has endured--as a female, Black, and queer pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America (ELCA). Through storytelling, biblical reflection, and colleague interviews, Denson-Byers offers an honest and unflinching look at the challenges faced by leaders of color in the predominantly white ELCA. Her insights and concrete suggestions for action illustrate how seeing and believing leaders of color are essential steps in the journey of allyship. Chapters beckon readers to acknowledge ignorance, respect boundaries, join in celebration and lament, offer reparations, and continue doing their own work to dismantle racism and live into the fullness of loving God and neighbor.   See Me, Believe Me is the essential follow-up to Call to Allyship: Preparing Your Congregation for Leaders of Color, another title in the Mouth House series of books that amplify voices for change.
