Purity Culture is a Scam

On the first episode of Sanctified, Deborah Joy and Lyvonne discuss purity culture’s chokehold on the Black church and its impact on Black women and girls. Ya'll, we may be deconstructing all of this for years to come. (Fix it, Black Jesus!) Thankfully, there are folks like educator, facilitator, and storyteller Jameelah Jones to model what liberation looks like in the face of this scam. Jameelah delivers a powerful testimony and shares affirming words to listeners who are struggling to overcome the damage of purity culture. Learn more about your ad choices.
