Faith, Ministry & Black Femme Queen Theology
Minister-in-Training | Spiritual Curator | Theologian of Tenderness & Truth
Through ritual, community, and radical presence, Nala ministers to those the world forgets—but Heaven never does.
✝️ My Ministry Work
Black Femme Queen Theology
Black Femme Queen Theology was born from the belly of exile and the breath of divinity. It’s a theology braided with gold hoops, gospel hums, altar offerings, and resistance. It holds space for all the parts of us—especially those the world says are too much. It's both protest and prayer. Through this lens, I offer teachings, sermons, workshops, and rituals that reclaim the holiness of our stories.
Key Impact:
🧺 Launched mutual aid efforts across the U.S. and Africa
🌱 Facilitated land acquisition for trans women in Uganda during COVID-19
✨ Created sacred spaces for prayer, ritual, and organizing
ROAD is more than a nonprofit—it’s a spiritual movement rooted in love, land, and liberation. Through it, Nala cultivates sustainable strategies for survival and sovereignty.
