Sister Savior: A Story of Collective Liberation Through Sisterhood

What is savior-hood that truly brings liberation? Is it only the white, male Jesus figure dying on the cross to save us from hell? A missionary crossing oceans to "save the lost"? In this searing memoir, Brittanie Richardson remembers begging God to save her from sexual abuse at the tender age of three, and takes us on her journey where her initial understanding of savior-hood was stolen and she became steeped in white evangelicalism, white saviorism, and trying to change herself to please God. She eventually moved to Kenya to rescue young girls from sexual exploitation and "bring them the good news of salvation." Instead these girls, by showing up and saving each other everyday, reintroduced her to "sister savior-hood" which defied the limitations of white savior-hood and centered the power of marginalized girls. Richardson denounces white evangelicalism, deconstructs her faith, and embraces all of herself--including her queerness. Through her story, you will also be moved to embark on your own journey of liberation and self-acceptance.
