About this listen

The Day God Saw Me as Black is a genre-defying, cultural critique of white supremacy in the Black Pentecostal religious experience through the lenses of race, gender, sexual expression, and class analyses. A narrative that weaves between critique and meditation, decolonization and reconciliation, the theoretical and the deeply personal, The Day God Saw Me as Black is an imagining of what could be if we stopped denying ourselves — and each other — full liberation.

“Let God Be Through, Quickly!

As a queer person of color this book affirmed all the things I know to be true. This book speaks to me personally and gave me healing that I didn’t know I needed. Thank You! A MUST READ AND A MUST SHARE!

Life-changing literature for every woman, but specifically for women of color

My spiritual mother recommended this book to me after a deep discussion we had regarding race, gender, freedom, and womanhood.

I found many answers to my inquiries in this book. Diving deep into the WHY, this book is an excellent journey on deconstructing the superwoman myth, removing the cape, rejoicing in our simple and sweet vulnerabilities as Rev Jill Flowers would say, and finally embracing the freedom of our womanhood and femininity.

I am so grateful to have entered this warm and nurturing space of healing, growth, and development. This is a must read for any person looking to lift women up, and any black woman seeking the warmth of powerful sisterhood between the pages of a life-changing book.

So good I’m buying the physical copy

There is so much cultural and theological insight that I’m buying a physical copy so I can write in the margins while I read it again.

The experience of being robbed of my innocence by a white male exposing himself to me was far too familiar.

Thanks for writing this book. It answers so many questions, including the reason why Trump is president.

Heard, Seen, Convicted

It's hard to describe how I felt listening to this book. The personal narrative punctuated perfectly with the occasional piece of poetry by fellow Unfit Christian Valerie Boyer articulates so much of what it means to be black, Fem, and churched while coming into deepening awareness of self and wrestling with what that means. We've been told that where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty-- and I found that liberty in this work. I love it and wholeheartedly recommend it.

To Be Young, Gifted and Black

What a privilege to be seen and affirmed in someone else's story. While D. Danyelle's story is deeply personal, so much of her lived experience is familiar. I appreciate her giving language to Christianity that lets me know it's okay to "wrestle with the text". Thank you sis! Miracles and blessings.

Beyond Words

I’ve never FELT a book like this before. I’ll leave a more eloquent review at some point but right now I have to cry, laugh, shout in the corner and be slain in the spirit all at the same time.

Literally has changed my life - thank you

She put into words things I’ve felt but couldn't articulate. The dualitty of loving something with all your heart and it being the source of great pain.
