Hey Family,<\/p>\n

\"LeSette

Rev. Dr. LeSette Wright<\/p><\/div>\n

I hope this message finds you well!\u00a0 It is July 2020!\u00a0 We have officially entered the second half of the year.\u00a0 I love July because it\u2019s my birthday month.\u00a0 I happen to share a birthday with one of the most phenomenal women to ever walk the earth, Ida B. Wells-Barnett.\u00a0 We were both born on July 16th<\/sup>, which I think is really special.<\/p>\n

So this month\u2019s blog is dedicated to Ida B. Wells, a Proverbs 31 woman extraordinaire!\u00a0 Ida was a business owner, journalist, activist, teacher, sister, friend, wife and mother.\u00a0 All of these roles and many more reflected her humanity, womanhood and multifaceted brilliance.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"

Ida B. Wells-Barnett<\/p><\/div>\n

Born in Mississippi four years after the close of the Civil War, Ida was no stranger to traumatic experiences.\u00a0 Her parents and a sibling died from yellow fever when she was just a young girl.\u00a0 Racial violence and injustice were a part of her daily existence.\u00a0 All of these experiences, impacted the voice of this phenomenal woman!<\/p>\n

Her journalistic contributions were second to none.\u00a0 Ida B. Wells-Barnett co-founded the Black Lives Matter movement of her day.\u00a0 She was a co-founder of the NAACP and the leading journalistic voice to the world in exposing the prevalence of lynching following the abolition of slavery in the United States.\u00a0 Her anti-lynching writings garnered death threats in an attempt to silence her truth-telling.\u00a0 Yet, she continued to speak truth to power; uncovering structural racism that protected lynch mobs and perpetuated continued violence against African-Americans.<\/p>\n

Ida B. Wells-Barnett used her voice and profession to greatly impact the world for good.\u00a0 So much so, that almost ninety years after her death, she was posthumously awarded a Pulitzer Prize in Journalism in May 2020.<\/p>\n

As a woman of faith, Ida B. Wells-Barnett inspires us to use our voices, platforms and professions to nurture our families and communities, addressing the injustices that exist in our world.<\/p>\n

We all have a role to play in the earth!\u00a0 How does your faith guide your actions?\u00a0 How are you using your voice, platforms and professions to pursue justice and promote God\u2019s peace?<\/p>\n

Please join me in prayer:
\nLoving, Just and Holy God, we ask your direction, courage and wisdom as we contemplate the purpose and plan you have for our lives.\u00a0 Help us to be inspired by your character as evidenced through the life of Ida B. Wells-Barnett.\u00a0 Thank you for using her life to your glory.\u00a0 Please do the same for us.\u00a0 In Christ\u2019s Name, Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
