What happens when a people are taught to praise, but never to weep?

Dr. E. Dewey Smith poignantly highlights how, for generations, Black communities have carried the weight of oppression, slavery, injustice, and loss — without ever being given space to grieve.

Too often, we’ve been told to celebrate without ever stopping to grieve. But lament isn’t weakness — it’s holy work. It is the pathway to healing - a way for our souls to confront and release the weight. It is how we honor our pain and begin to heal as a people.

So slow down, lament, and invite God into your deepest wounds.
