  • In this episode of My Cotton Patch Moments, I am joined by the insightful Reverend Gibson "Nibs" Stroupe, a prominent figure in the Presbyterian Church with decades of service and dedication to social justice. Nibs shares his personal journey from a childhood in Arkansas, shaped by the absence of his father and the strong presence of his mother, to confronting his own ingrained racism and transforming into a leading advocate for racial equality and community building. Listen in as we dive into topics from his latest book, "She Made a Way, Mother and Me in a Deep South World," discussing the deep-seated fears of abandonment, the impact of strong maternal figures, and how therapy played a pivotal role in shifting his focus towards gratitude for the love he received. We also explore the complexities of race, privilege, and vulnerability, with Nibs candidly admitting his past racism and the poignant moments that sparked his transformation during his time as co-pastor of Oakhurst Presbyterian in a multicultural setting. This inspiring conversation touches on the power of honest dialogue, the courage to confront personal and societal challenges, and the ongoing journey towards understanding and healing across racial divides. Tune in for a heartfelt and impactful episode that encourages everyone to reflect on their own paths and the broader path to justice and equality.
