11am           Black Liberation Theology is the foundation of my spiritual identity.

Speaker: Monica Jones, Assoc. Dean of Students and Chief Diversity Officer at Marietta College.

"Growing in Southeastern Ohio there were two constants in my life: The (Black) Church and 

The (Black) Family. As a child, I never questioned my Blackness or my Christianity but life has a way of testing every aspect of who I believed myself to be in the most difficult times. The evolution of my spiritual journey continues to expose my vulnerabilities, my truths and my transformation.

How are you growing and transforming? - Monica Jones
