About This Show

The People’s Church of Audre Lorde invites you to their inaugural Thank the Lorde! service. Born February 18, 1934 Audre Lorde was a self-described black, lesbian, mother, warrior, poet who actively fought many personal and political battles through her writing and life.

The People’s Church of Audre Lorde serves to further and protect the development of an eroticism rooted in the spiritual practices and legacies of Black women and gender non-conforming femmes.

This service is one of many spaces where we praise, study and Thank the Lorde! Only this time, the object of worship is a black lesbian feminist doing her work? Have you done yours?
