I’m working on a sermon…Lord strengthen Rizpah
Black women, especially the matriarchs of the church, have been long hierophants of truth, love and justice. I am reminded of Mother Fannie Lou Hammer, who, despite the cowardice and insouciance of the patriarchal sacerdotal establishment (of the black church), walked and sang her way as a plenipotentiary of the Gospel, organizing, preaching equality, freedom and democracy while empowering and ennobling the hearts of God’s oppressed children in rural and racially segregated Mississippi.

[….] Someone out there knows something. Please be brave enough and come forward with any information you have. Athena is a special young woman. For those of you that know her…. you know she lights up the room when she walks in. She is full of energy and she knows how to make you smile when you are feeling down. Just the sound of he…r voice can brighten your day. We also know Thena has her moods but we all do… and it never took much to bring that spark back. PLEASE if you have any information what so ever Please contact Detective Stribling @ 404-546-2511 or send him an anonymous email (make up one) his email address is: dstribling@atlantaga.gov . We need to bring Athena home, she is a mother, daughter, sister, niece, cousin and bestfriend to many of us. We love her and miss her more each day. You can inbox me directly as well @ jerilynnL77@gmail.com
