Marla Taviano's Quest for Love and Justice on 'White Girl Learning'

For me, it's that realization of, oh, my gosh, I don't have to subscribe to this to be a good person and to love people. That's what I love so much in the deconstruction community.
Ever felt like you were living someone else's script? Marla Taviano sure did. In this episode of 'Speaking Up with Andrew Pledger', Marla opens up about her unique journey of self-discovery and transformation. Raised in a Christian household with limited access to information, she broke free from these constraints to become a successful writer and a vocal anti-racist advocate.
Marla's story is one of courage and resilience, as she navigates the complexities of leaving toxic religious environments and embracing love and acceptance. Her candid reflections on parenting, evolving views on queer identity, and the power of community offer a refreshing take on deconstruction and healing. This episode isn't just about moving beyond religious trauma; it's about finding your true self amidst the chaos.
Tune in for an inspiring conversation that tackles themes of Christian culture, anti-racism, and the journey towards wholeness.
