Why It Matters
​​
Roots & Reflections bridges memory and mission. It reminds us that the conversations we have today are part of a larger story—a story of survival, strength, and sacred resistance. In naming our truths and honoring our ancestors, we open ourselves to healing, wisdom, and collective transformation.

Where our past speaks, and our future listens.
Roots & Reflections is a dialogue-centered forum hosted by the I AM BLACK Ministry, offering a sacred space for deep conversation, critical reflection, and communal learning around issues of identity, justice, faith, and heritage.
Unlike a lecture or sermon, this forum invites diverse voices from across the African continent and diaspora—scholars, activists, ministers, artists, and everyday leaders—to share lived experiences and wisdom rooted in our collective history and spiritual journey.
Here, we reflect on the roots that shaped us—family, tradition, struggle, liberation, and spirituality—and we ask what they mean for us now in the face of global injustices, fractured identities, and spiritual hunger.
