Kristen is a theologian, podcast host, and social justice advocate whose work sits at the intersection of Christian formation, racial repair, and courageous discipleship. She is the creator and host of Jesus, Justice and Mercy — a podcast offering courageous hope for the church and serves as the Executive Director of a non-profit supporting an NGO in Uganda that provides school fee support and community education to children affected by HIV/AIDS.

Her theology is forged in real terrain: church hurt, complex family, the daily weight of raising biracial sons in a world still learning to see them fully. She writes as someone who has walked through disorientation and come out the other side, not unscathed, but re-formed.

Kristen’s work draws deeply from Black theological tradition, trauma-informed frameworks, and the Scriptures she has refused to abandon. She is known for handling difficult truths with honesty and care, neither watering down the prophetic nor losing the pastoral. Her speaking and writing move people toward what she calls holy disruption: the sacred unsettling that precedes repair.

She is currently developing Discipled Into Silence, her debut book. She lives with her family and writes from the margins, accompanied by three dogs who consider themselves essential to the creative process and two cats who remain unconvinced the book is necessary at all.
