  Black Like That is a collection of poems about my experience as a Black woman in America. It reviews what I have learned from living in this skin, on this land, and all the ancestry that has followed me to keep me covered. It is an invitation to my folk to find themselves in these stories and for those who cannot ascribe to these identities, I invite you to consider another perspective. Black Like That in all of its iterations is an offering from all the voices in mine that had no space to speak.

  Together we can change the conversation—and change the world. 
   
   
   
  We're often left in dead-end debates on racial tensions, foolishly expecting solutions from a culture obsessed with canceling and dividing. But what if the church could create a more effective dialogue? 
   
   
   
  For over two decades, Skot Welch has been a key advisor on diversity and inclusion around the world, in everything from the arts and entertainment to the church to Fortune 500 companies. With wisdom and a humble graciousness, he challenges us to rethink the way we talk about race and ethnicity, empowering you to celebrate both your identity in Christ and diverse cultural makeup; embrace a new kingdom language that is biblically grounded and culturally relevant; explore a Christ-centered perspective on hard but crucial questions; and build a united, diverse community where compassionate, challenging conversations can take place. 
   
   
   
  The church holds the redemptive solution our world needs, one that puts Christ at the center, modeling conciliation that leads to lasting reconciliation.

  The Valley of the Kings, one of the most iconic archaeological sites in the world, first captured the attention of explorers and scholars in the 18th century. Though long known to local inhabitants, it was not until European adventurers began systematically exploring Egypt that the valley's true significance came to light. These early explorers, driven by a mix of scholarly curiosity and treasure hunting, began mapping and cataloging the tombs they encountered in the barren hills west of the Nile. Among them were figures like Giovanni Belzoni and Howard Carter, whose efforts would lay the foundation for modern Egyptology. 
  The role of local communities, particularly the people of Qurna and other nearby villages, cannot be overlooked. Many locals worked closely with foreign archaeologists, guiding them through the rugged terrain and even assisting in excavations. Their intimate knowledge of the landscape proved invaluable. Some families, generation after generation, were involved in archaeological digs, and many tombs might have remained hidden much longer without their contributions. However, this collaboration also brought complex dynamics, especially regarding the protection of cultural heritage and the handling of newly uncovered treasures. 
  Transforming what seemed like a lifeless desert into a thriving center of discovery, the Valley soon became a symbol of ancient grandeur and mystery. The dry climate and remote location helped preserve many of the tombs, allowing researchers to uncover not only the resting places of kings but also the beliefs, rituals, and artistry of ancient Egypt. With each new find, the Valley revealed more about the powerful individuals buried there and the civilization they ruled.

Tons of its ideas are now regarded important structures of liberal democracy, while terms like Liberté, égalité, and fraternité resurfaced in following revolts, which includes as the 1917 Russian Revolution, and stimulated efforts to eliminate oppression and attain universal suffrage.
