(Black PR Wire) Truth’s Table podcast co-host Christina Edmondson, Michelle Higgins, and Ekemini Uwan will be launching their debut book, “Truth’s Table: Black Women’s Musings On Life, Love, and Liberation” through Penguin Random House book publishers, on April 26, 2022.
Truth’s Table podcast, created by Black Women, for Black Women, has garnered more than 3 million downloads and has been ranked in Apple’s Top 200 Religion & Spirituality podcasts. This trio was also the recipient of the 2021 Best Black Religion and Spirituality Podcast award by Black Podcasting Awards (BPA). Episodes on the show tackle politics, race, culture, and gender issues through a Christian lens. The women have been recognized by the New York Times, the Atlantic, Christianity Today, and several other publications.
Now into their sixth season, Truth’s Table has transferred their podcasting experience into their first literary project. The book breaks down topics such as colorism, marriage, divorce, reparations; the perception placed on single black women, protests, and discipleship while offering a pathway for reflection and change. For anyone seeking to explore the spiritual dimensions of hot-button issues within the church or anyone thirsty enough to deepen their faith, “Truth’s Table” provides exactly the survival guide you need.
If you are interested in receiving a copy of the book, please let us know. In the meantime, enjoy our new book trailer here . We cannot wait to share this latest project with you!
