Welcome to In Sacred Spaces, a three-part podcast miniseries that showcases a rich tapestry of spirituality, history, race, religion, gender, and sexuality. We visit sacred places of worship, community, mourning and celebration while talking with African-American religious leaders and members of New York City’s vibrant ballroom community. Join us as we learn about the decades and even centuries of antiracist, feminist, and LGBTQ+ affirming activism that have happened within these sacred spaces.
