The Mahogany Tower is a blog/podcast exploring the intersection of Science, Faith, and Sociocultural Identity, not necessarily in that order. As a Black, Christian scientist, I talk about everything from colorblind racism in 21st century American Christianity to using social psychology to slide in your crush's DM's. Don't worry, we'll have fun.

Homophobia

Some random thoughts...

Nov 17, 2021•30 min

Yahweh, the Creator

Our Creator is a creator. That means you and I can create, too.

Aug 26, 2021•29 min

Brilliance

Chopping it up about brilliance. What it is and what it ain't.

The Black Sheep

In the case of American Christianity, I fear there’s a lot more emphasis on conforming , and assimilating, than being the men and women that God called for us to be, in full. That's a bad look, and I'll tell you why.

SPOTLIGHT: Onyi Anosike

A live interview with my favorite [future] OBGYN. Chopping it up about boarding school, being a woman of color in medicine, and that one random time she worked as a butler.

Apr 28, 2021•1 hr 15 min

Santa Claus

How do we make sense of global icons, like Santa, that are largely based in fiction?

Statutes of Liberty (pt. 2 of 3)

"If you believe your religious views will always be more important than the interests of your neighbor, that sounds closer to supremacy than it does religion."

Oct 19, 2020•26 min

Statues of Liberty (pt. 1 of 3)

"For us to say we’ve separated church and state but simultaneously look to advance Christian views while oppressing others is NOT consistent with honoring who we claim to be as a country. And if you love your neighbor, you need to care about that."

Cultural Literacy (pt. 2 of 3)

As much as I would like to say that all the sisters at church in the 1st century are lining up out the door to date our tall, dark, and handsome Eunuch, I'm not convinced. The brothers probably had their reservations about this guy, too.

Sep 21, 2020•20 min

Cultural Literacy (pt. 1 of 3)

Part of reading the scriptures is reading and understanding culture. The Bible's no stranger to ethnoreligious conflict. Consider the Jews and Samaritans.

Sep 08, 2020•39 min

Black Queens

Alright, Black queens... this one's for you.

Feb 20, 2020•18 min

CULTURE

"Why are we here? We're here for the culture, of course."

Jan 22, 2020•23 min

Race & Place (pt. 2 of 3)

Chopping it up about Southern Reconstruction, Convict Leasing, and the new institution of slavery.

Jun 18, 2019•17 min

Race & Place (pt. 1 of 3)

"I think one of my greatest fears is losing my ability to interact with 'normal' people. Not people who pull in a quarter million a year. Not people with 3 degrees, and 2 summer homes in Florida. Just... normal people..."

Anger.

"Rule #31. Check your anger at the door, homie."
