Season 2, Episode 33: When the Unexpected Community is Where You Heal Most

That Social Work Lady

Episode 33 is a Millennial Theologian Takeover!
I am so grateful to welcome theologian Jasmine Logan back on That Social Work Lady along with her colleague Jada Williams.
Jada Williams is in her fourth year of the dual JD/MDiv program at Wake Forest University. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in History from Young Harris College, where she was a Division II NCAA basketball player and heavily involved in other campus organizations and clubs ranging from Greek life to religious life to residence life. Jada is a certified beekeeper, began her own cheesecake business in 2020, and is a volunteer youth basketball coach in her free time.
To say that Williams is a 21st century Renaissance woman is an understatement!
During episode 33, Williams and Logan take us on a journey of how to build community in spaces that are not necessarily inviting. Williams goes so far as to express that community is not just a people but is also a place and a mindset. Further pushing the envelop of community as a stagnant location, Williams helps us gain a deeper understanding of the radical nature of community and community building. The most surprising element? How unexpected community can be a place where you heal.
Co-host for this episode is Jasmine “Jazz” Logan. Jazz is a third-year student at Wake Forest University School of Divinity.
